Automation Rule Actor

Alex Burns_wazr7k

Hi all, we have a project in Jira with multiple team members in which they use a rule to track their time on tasks etc. Currently when they submit their time it saves it as "Automation for Jira", but I want it to submit as the name of the person that has triggered that instance of the rule. How can I do this? TiA!

Hello @Alex Burns

Good day, Welcome to Atlassian Community !!

Try changing actor of your rule to "User who triggered the event".

Steps:

1. Navigate to the automation list.

   • For project automations, go to Project settings > Automation. In a team-managed service project, navigate to Service project settings > Automation.

   • For global automations, access Jira home > Settings > System > Automation rules.

2. Select the rule you wish to update.

3. Under Actor, choose the option: "User who triggered the event."
