@[deleted] when you create the StartDateFormat variable you have a period between the words Start and Date, creating a null value rather than the value you expected...and...to then use a mask you must use the format() function.

Hi! I suspect this could be done by calling REST API functions, or by more generically comparing the current sum of remaining time each week from a JQL query. And there are always marketplace addons...however... @Kavitha Vasudevan how often does this happen, a team member not logging time? If this is infrequent and for a…

I am glad to learn it is working now. Please consider marking this question as answered; that will help others with a similar need find solutions faster. Thanks!

Don, what do the rectangles represent in your diagram? For example, is all of this logic to set the value of one field? Or is it to take additional actions? Let's say this was to set the value of one field. In that case, much of that logic can be combined into a single conditional statement. Would you please post an image…

Hi @Trevor Overstreet What is the type of your clientID field? If it is a number you could try using the floor function: {{issue.clientID.floor}} Kind regards, Bill

Hi @Don Hames Yes, and...to what Jack suggests: Some scenarios requiring longer rules can be restructured with branch loops, list iterators, conditional filters, lookup issues, smaller parent/child rules, etc. Knowing the problem you are trying to solve and seeing your complete rule may help the community to suggest…

Awesome; I am glad that helped. And I still recommend submitting the defect as there is a problem in either/both the REST API method or the rule handling of the results. Regarding the problems of fields, functions, conditionals inconsistencies...I have submitted several for those "opportunities".

You are very close to solving this...just a bit of adjustments to make the rule handle the two cases differently for siblings and parent...please note the nesting; that is how your rule will appear in the editor. You will need to add some if/else structure and branches. * trigger: manual, or some other trigger such as…

Hi @justin.spitzer -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! That appears to be a custom field added for your site, or perhaps just the project. If you are a project admin you may add a filter to the board to display issues based on that field: * For a company-managed project, add a quick filter by selecting the menu at the…

Hi @Andriy Zhdanov In accordance with the community guidelines for marketplace and solution providers, please ensure you disclose in the text of your post your relationship to a vendor when recommending their products. Please see the community guidelines for more information.…

Hi @Miky -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! What type of project are you using: company-managed or team-managed? You may find the type of project by looking at the bottom of the page by expanding the left-side Expand area. If you are using a company-managed project, you may add fields to the backlog view by selecting…

Hi @ssavvidis What have you tried thus far to solve this? As you are apparently calling the REST API, and you seem to understand the issue structure, couldn't you first gather the child issues of the epic, and then sum the results from the linked subtasks also using the REST API? If you doing this from inside of Jira, I…

Hi @Jovanka Jovicic Would you please clarify your status values and Kanban board layout, as those may impact the answer to your question? In general, the built-in Jira reports/measures are based upon a board's filter and the board's column settings, and the actions of the team. For some context, teams using Kanban…

Hi @Mahan Lamei -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! As described in the documentation, I believe you need to split up the add and remove sections: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/advanced-field-editing-using-json/#Adding-labels For example: { "update": { "labels": [ { "add":…

Hi @[deleted] Created variables are text type, and you can set them in a date or date/time field by converting with toDate, such as with this: {{StartDate.toDate}} Kind regards, Bill

Hi @Oskar Salm First thing, try adding just {{assignee}} or {{assignee.accountId}} as the watcher. Next thing, you may just want to add the new watcher once...so perhaps try using the fieldChange smart values to help. You may need to experiment with this or {{changelog}} to get this to work. And...If the linked issue is in…

Hi @Brock Jolet I reproduced the symptom you are seeing, and... The webhookResponse is text and the data directly from the issue is not so it has typing information. For {{issue.issueLinks}}, type.id should be a number for comparison...However with the issue conditional filtering, type.id apparently does not work. The…

Hi @Melissa Kibrick The way the rule is written, it will trigger for any change, and trigger multiple times in a row if multiple fields are changed in quick succession. As your rule seems to target just a few fields, perhaps change from the generic Issue Updated trigger and use the Field Value Changed to only select the…

Hi @JunoB The only two ways to do that: the way you did (rule in source-triggering project) or a global/multi-project scope rule. There are limits to the number of global/multi-project scope rule executions per month, depending on your license level. Please look here for more…

Thanks for that information, Rosario. I am using Jira Cloud, so I cannot confirm this for Server/DataCenter... It appears those rich filter gadgets you are using are marketplace addons. I recommend working with your Jira admin to identify the vendor and look at their documentation page to see if want you want is possible.

Hi @Functioneel Beheer Schadefonds I am not following what you are asking as your need. Perhaps if you... * post images of your complete automation rule and * the audit log details showing the execution, and * explain how it does not work as you expect...that will provide context for the community to offer suggestions…

I am glad to learn you got it figured out! For future reference...confirming you have the correct smart values, etc. for automation rules can sometimes be a puzzle as there are "gaps" in the documentation. This how-to article shows how to confirm what smart values are supported and the correct names, spacing,…

I am using Jira Cloud, and not Server/Data Center version...and it would appear the smart values may be different for issue links between those two...although that seems surprising to me. Let's try this... Please post images of your complete automation rule and the audit log details showing the rule execution. Those may…

Perhaps this is a question with the team about what is "done" to them for their "definition of done"... If done includes released, then that would be a column/status on the board prior to done. If instead build-and-test-complete means done, release is independent of that, and multiple stories can be in one release, then…

Automation rules often take a bit of experimentation and a bit of learning, reviewing the documentation to learn what is possible: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/smart-values-in-jira-automation-993924627.html I gave you the starting point for the links. To get just a list of the keys to the linked issues from…

Hi @Viktoria Boiko First thing, I am using Jira Cloud, not the Server/Data Center version, and so my suggestion is based on the documentation. Unfortunately, Server/Data Center does not have the Lookup Issues action in rules, which would make this use case easy. As a possible work-around, you could try using JQL and the…

Thanks for clarifying, Mark My concern was there seem to be agile teams (i.e. squads), and apparently the need is to measure skill-capacity (i.e. chapter) across teams, rather than letting the teams manage that themselves. Perhaps I am misunderstanding what that measure helps with across teams. Is it to help the teams…

Hi @Andrey Yes, and...to Mikael's answer... Even after you get your regular expression figured out, the condition may still fail to match. The reason is that the Issue Created trigger can fire very quickly, often faster than the data being available at the start of the rule. If you encounter this symptom, the work-around…

Hi @Sofia Grunspan The built-in velocity chart report is based on the filter for a specific Scrum board. Have you tried accessing report from that team's board? Kind regards, Bill

I haven't set one of these up for a while, and I'm away from work and cannot try this with a free-license. Please take a look at the admin documentation, including the linked articles, which describe how to set this up. https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/manage-webhooks/
