Automate change of status

Question

Hello,

I would like to set up a rule that would automatically change the status from "testing" to "in progress" after 5 days.

How could I manage to do that ?

thanks,

@Constance Tanguy The power scripts add-on is really a go to tool for all JIRA admins, and it provides SIL (Simple Issue Language), which is really easily to understand and write in order to automate a lot of tasks in JIRA.

Hi Constance,

Without using an app, you would need to create a new SLA that starts when entering status testing and ends when moving to In Progress. ANd then use JSD Automation for when that SLA breaches to transition the issue.

Otherwise look at Automation for Jira or Scriptrunner - Escalation Services.

Hope that helps

Hello,

You would need a plugin for it.

For example, you could use the Power Scripts add-on:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/43318/power-scripts-jira-script-automation?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

You could create a job with a script like this:

string[] keys = selectIssues("project = prj and not changed from Testing after -5d and status = Testing");
for (string k in keys) {
  autotransition("transition to in progress", k);
}
