Automations around keywords for versions

Question

Hi,

I am trying to create an automation that when tickets enter a certain status the following happens:

* Lookup a team field (team a, team b)
* If "Team a" then edit the ticket and add fix version "Team a - 1.x.x"
* If "Team b" then edit the ticket and add fix version "Team b - 1.x.y"

The main issue is I need to search for a keyword in the unreleased version name and then add the respective version to the ticket in the fix version field.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this?

Thanks!

Hi @Heather Ronnebeck ,

This worked for me

1. Choose 'Edit Issue' -> 'More Options'

{
"update": {
"fixVersions": [
{
"set": [
{
"name": "{{#project.versions}} {{#if(not(released))}} {{#if(name.contains(\"Smart\"))}} {{name}} {{/}} {{/}} {{/}}"
}
]
}
]
}
}

Hi @Heather Ronnebeck

If both your Team and the specific version number you show in the examples are unknown until the rule runs, the REST API will be needed to find the versions.

The rule could use the Send Web Request action to call the endpoint to search for the matching versions by their name, status, etc., parse them out with text functions from the webhook response, and then use a JSON edit to update the issue with the version name.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Heather Ronnebeck

This should be fairly straightforward to do in automation.  Have you attempted it yet, and if so, are you encountering any problems?
