Gotcha. Please try {{issue.epic link}}

Hi @Liam Green Is this Classic or NextGen? And, are you saying the Branch is finding no sibling stories for the Epic? Maybe add a log action prior to the branch to see the issue type of the triggering issue, and its parent, to confirm what is happening. Best regards, Bill

Hi @Nofar Ben Kereth Please take a look at this post describing updating the Notification Policy to address this: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-questions/Re-How-to-disable-Jira-update-notifications-when-Automat/qaq-p/1483291/comment-id/377#M377 There is also a suggestion to add this feature, rather than…

Hi @Dan H Is this for a NextGen project? If so, you may be running into this defect: https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-1987 The only work-around I can think of is to use a scheduled rule to periodically refresh all parent estimates for their current children. You could refine that work-around a bit by adding a…

Hi @Fahim You may want to investigate options in the marketplace for this request: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&query=SAP Otherwise, if you can get a webhook to subscribe to changes in SAP, perhaps you could use Automation for Jira rules to make the updates. Best regards, Bill

Hi @Terry Martinkus Please try to save your image locally first and then upload it to the question using insert photo/image icon in the message edit.

Hi @Matthew Young Consider what John suggests, or you may remove the Re-Fetch and add to the condition outside of the branch to prevent parallel execution: * Condition: if matches JQL... (comment ~ "person a" OR comment ~ "person b" OR comment ~ "person c") AND status NOT IN ("Open", "Reopened", "In Progress", "Waiting for…

Hi @Terry Martinkus -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Would you please post an image of your program board, and perhaps examples of where you are adding a highlight color to other issue types? That will provide the community more context to try to offer ideas. Thanks! Best regards, Bill

Hi @Amruta Pelapkar No, the publish will only make the workflow effective. It will not alter the existing issues. The only way I know to set the resolution date is to move through workflow or bulk edit. Neither approach would match your request because: * moving backward/forward to set the date would make the value {{now}}…

Hi @Swaroop That is not possible with out-of-the-box Jira. I saw a suggestion to add this feature for Jira Server and it was closed as "won't do" in 2018. Best regards, Bill

Hmm... I recommend talking to your site admin about submitting a ticket to support for help if it stays stuck in progress. Best regards, Bill

Hi @Chris Deutschmann To get the name rather than the ID, please try: {{assignee.displayName}} For a complete field, behavior, issues... list, there really isn't anything like that yet. These two sources are a great start, with notes in the comments for additions:…

Hi @Roger Davidson -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! A Jira board is view of the issues in the project, managed by the filter for the board. You may edit the filter from Board > Configure (documentation link) You indicate the boards are for different groups and you don't want them linked. How do you distinguish the…

Hi @Prabhu Chilukuri Do you mean a link to the released version on the Releases page? If so, you may add the following to your email, substituting in your company's URL and Project to Jira: myCompany.atlassian.net/browse/myProject/fixforversion/{{version.id}} Best regards, Bill

Hi @Marvin Sturm -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Yes, and... to what @Trudy P Claspill suggests to you... Note that Trudy moves the issue to Done. For Jira Cloud, there is no "undo" so deleting may not be a good idea because once an item is gone, it is gone! Instead consider adding a custom field (or other…

Hi @Max Larsen Would you please post an image of your rule and the audit log? That will help the community give you ideas. Thanks! Best regards, Bill

Thanks for the follow-up, Greg!

Hi @Mark B Wager Are you asking about an Automation for Jira (A4J) rule, with a branch? If so, branches can only process up to 100 issues (with or without JQL). And, at a project level I haven't seen anything for halting a rule in progress. If you disable the rule does it have any impact? (I would suspect not because the…

Hi @Manu Sekhar S -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! What problem are you trying to solve with your request? Rather than figure out ways to carry work over, sprint to sprint, I wonder: * How might the team split down valuable stories so each can be started and completed in a sprint? * How might the team improve…

Hi @Tristan Silverio No, you would need a global (or multi-project) rule. You appear to be on the Premium version, so you have 1000 global executions per month, I believe. However... There are no such scope limitations using the web request action to access the REST API. So if you could find the issues in a different…

Hi Harry, I am glad to hear that helped you, and I'm afraid that Lookup Issues only works for a limited number of fields at this time: From the resulting issue list, the following issue properties are available to use (custom fields aren't available): * {{key}} - Returns the issue key * {{url}} - Returns the issue url *…

Yes, and... Everytime I believe I can solve a problem in a rule with a created variable, I run into another behavior such as they cannot be used as parameters to functions...collapsing to NULL for some design reason. (I was just minutes away from creating an epic status bar rule, and...then I re-learned this doesn't…

Gotcha, and thanks. A few more ideas: You may want to check out the REST API call to create issue, which uses the ID values rather than the names for such JSON access. I cannot tell what transaction you are calling to know if that is relevant:…

Please see my earlier post in this thread mentioning Very complex solution for details: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Re-Max-function-in-Jira-smart-values/qaq-p/1616008/comment-id/467134#M467134

I understand your request, and the only way I see to do this currently is the method I noted with the web request call to the REST API, and using extra custom fields. For one individual issue the maximum Sprint Date value is {{issue.sprint.endDate.max}} but getting at that value spanning a list of issues is the challenge.…

Hi @R. Simpson -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! I noted that your project field name is not enclosed in quotation marks. Have you tried to add those? Best regards, Bill

Thanks for that rule image, Matthew. As I suggested, your branch is checking for initiator and then moving issues to "In Progress", and then immediately after it could move things back to "Waiting For ACS Response". Without too much change in your rule you can fix this as follows (please see the bolded changes): * Trigger:…

Hi @Raju Mandapaka Thanks for clarifying your question. For looking at historical data (past sprints), I have always done comparisons like this by exporting to a spreadsheet and parsing the results. Jira adds new sprints to an issue when items are carried over, and I do not believe the built-in automation rule functions…

Hi @Mark B Wager I cannot tell from your post if you are using Jira Cloud or Server, and I have not done what you suggest before...And looking at this post from the Atlassian Developer Community, your success may depend upon what Cognito's interface supports for adding the attachment:…

Hi @Stefan Stolk -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! To provide some context, please describe the following for your use of Jira: * What do you want to know, and what problem are you trying to solve with that information? * How you are organizing your projects in Jira and how those map to the layers you describe? For…
