How to create condition for automatisation on status category?

Question

Dear all,

do any of you perhaps know how to set up a condition on a status category? It's tiring to click every time statuses that are not to be considered for automation. It would be easier to make StatusCategory != Done.

I would appreciate your help.

Hi @Emilia KASPRZYK,

You can set up a JQL condition for this. It would allow you to specify your condition exactly the way you mentioned in your question: add a filter with the following syntax:

StatusCategory != Done

Hope this helps!

Hi @Emilia KASPRZYK , thanks for your post.

Do you mean this?

It should be possible using the JQL condition to specify the Status Category Am I not understanding your question?

I always recommend people to use the Jira automation playground, which has a library of automation rules and worked examples. For example, this rule also uses the JQL condition - https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/automation-template-library/rules#/rule/140662

Please confirm.
