I seem to have no if/else block option in our Jira automation function. Why is that, please?
Hi @Phil Bustin , In issue field condition you will be able to see the if/else condition.
@Phil Bustin, Is this inside of a branching statement by any chance? The If/Else doesn't work inside of branching statements!
Thanks, Kian
Hello @Phil Bustin
Please show us the entire rule you have and where you are trying to insert the If/Else.
There are limitations to where it can be used. I believe it can't be used within a Branch, for example.
That appears to be untrue.
What do you mean by untrue can you please elaborate it
When I click "field condition" in the menu you see in my posted question, I only see:
I found if/else, by starting to create a new rule. When I clicked before the branch in the existing rule, I still didn’t see it, so I guess an existing rule precludes if/else if there’s a branch, period. I’m still not clear on why I needed a branch in the first place. Perhaps it’s unavoidable:
Please view my reply to Trudy's answer, above.
Having a branch doesn't preclude inserting If/Else before the branch.
Since you haven't told us anything about what you want to do with your rule I can't speak to why you need a branch.
The answer to your question is interesting but simple: I used as my model a Community post on transitioning the parent when all sub-tasks are done:
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-questions/How-can-I-transition-the-parent-when-all-subtasks-are-resolved/qaq-p/159407
Somehow, I thought I'd see the if/else option as soon as I clicked New component, but now I see that it is in the menu after I click New condition. It was hiding in plain sight, for days. :-)
Meanwhile, by copying the rule that works, and in the copy, changing within the branch the value in the condition and transition name in the action, I have a two rules that work together.
Just to know, why doesn't this attempt at a Rule with stacked conditions (that are actually mutually exclusive) within the branch work?
Can you provide the Audit Log details for an instance where the stacked conditions version did not work?
