Please try to stick to one thread when responding. That will help others in the future see if there are multiple solution approaches to solve the problem. From what you describe, perhaps someone has enabled this option at the top of the rule: "Check to allow other rule actions to trigger this rule. Only enable this if you…

What is the purpose of both your original discussion topic and your follow-up question? I ask, as there is extensive information to be found (and then experimented with) in books, online sources, and training on these and other software construction-related topics. Perhaps meet with your team, internal coaching staff, and…

To perform that type of validator on Fix Version, please investigate marketplace addons as the built-in validators will not support the field.

Hi @Mike Espitia For a question like this, please post an image of your complete automation rule, images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches, an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and explain what is not working as expected. Those will provide context for the community to offer ideas.…

Hi @Frank Pineiro -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! You could create a rule with a Scheduled Trigger, with JQL to identify the issues, and then use the Edit Issue action to clear the Flagged field. However...how does your team use the "flag"? That is, what does it represent? From what you describe, automatically…

Awesome; I am glad to learn that helped! For the status values, that would work also...and... If you want the sum or count, without using the variables, adding a math expression wrapper will work. For example, let's redo what I suggested earlier: This would be the sum of the story points for the RTB components:…

Hi @Brandon Kidd -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Using the smart value, list filtering with one call to Lookup Issues sounds like a good approach. For the indexOf() function, that is a 0-based index, and when a value is not found it returns…

Hi @Tudor Tofan -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! First, have you confirmed the asset, smart value contains the information needed? Next, when a list, smart value is referenced like this: {{Team.team_members.emailAddress}} By default, it joins them with commas. However the Send Email action wants multiple values…

Hi @Jeffrey Bistrong First thing, have you considered using a Lookup Table for the day-of-week to assignee mapping? That will shorten the rule a bit and ease maintenance / risk of rule errors. Next, for your original question: you could use the weekOfYear and test if it is even or odd and make the decision. Kind regards,…

Hi @hvb1kor -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! There appears to be a time zone attribute in the worklog endpoint results: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-worklogs/#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueidorkey-worklog-get Did you check if that value is accurate for the different logs…

Hi @Ethan Bhardwaj -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! In addition to the other suggestions offered... I note your rule is editing an issue field before the attempt to add the comment. Is the comment referencing the field just edited and was that field empty before the edit? If so, your rule is missing an action to…

Hi @Sreedevi Kr For a question like this, please post an image of your complete automation rule, images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches, an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and explain what is not working as expected. Those will provide context for the community to offer ideas.…

Hi @Semin Chang -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! The smart value {{issue.issuelinks}} contains the information for all of the links. Please try using that one with smart value, list filtering to access the link id for your specific issue…

That is a good method for the Kanban boards. For Scrum board, the issues are out of view for the board when the sprint completes (and the next one starts). In that case, the Versions page is one location to see the status of the issues for a specific version.

Thanks for that information, Glenn. If these are project-scope rules, and the the sprint completion is done manually (i.e., not by another rule), yet it is still not triggering, I recommend working with your Jira Site Admin to submit a support ticket to Atlassian to identify the…

Yup...they took down / removed public access to the old Codebarrel blog, documentation, and backlog some time after the Atlassian documentation pages went live.

Hi @Darby Kim -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Yes, and...to Trudy's suggestions: Are you using a company-managed or a team-managed project? You may find that in the list of projects or at the bottom-left of the page expanding area. Company-managed projects use the "Story points" smart value, and team-managed ones…

Hi @olivier_roset_e -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! The status macro for Jira's Description field appears to get broken / bent as soon as the field is edited by an automation rule. (I hypothesize there is some additional data which is lost when the field changes. It might be possible to preserve it if the Atlassian…

Hi @tim-vandijck As you noted in your original question, Jira Scrum boards detect completed work in a sprint (for burn charts and other reporting) when the issue is in a status mapped to the rightmost column on the board. Your team appears to track releases separate from the sprint work...and you note using a Team-managed…

Hi @jeroenvandendooren -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! For a question like this, please post an image of your complete automation rule, images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches, an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and explain what is not working as expected. Those will provide…

Hi @daniel.nordal -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! For the rule you show, why not set that field at the same time the Story is created? The advanced edit with JSON is available in the Issue Create action The branch to most recently created issue would then be needed only to create the Subtasks under the new story.…

Hi @AKSHIT PATEL -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Some challenges I have observed with this topic are: * skill gaps in incremental delivery * skill gaps in test case creation * skill gaps in test-first, development practices * lack of belief / support to use test-first, development practices * rationalizing the…

And here it is, for those who want to watch / vote for it: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-84364

Well, done; making progress! Regarding using the number, do you mean of the counter for looping? If so, I updated that technique later to do so, as described in this post: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-articles/Branching-over-smart-values-in-Jira-Automation/ba-p/1741935#M546 And remember such branching…

Hi @PLaksh11 How accurate does your linking need to be? If you only need it accurate at the time an issue is created, one rule will work. When you need more accuracy, additional rules will be needed when: * the value of a custom field changes * someone unlinks the issues * etc. Also please note well: because the issues are…

Hi @Paulo Sebastião To save you some automation, experimentation time... Once inside of an iterator (e.g., looping over your JSON) data from outside (e.g., your variable email) cannot be accessed. The workaround is to use your variable and knowledge of the structure to build a dynamic regular expression, and then pass that…

Hi @Sharon For that type of condition / comparison, I believe the rule editor is removing or ignoring the spaces. If you wanted to compare to exactly " BMM ", you could use the smart value condition with a regular expression: * first value: {{issue.summary}} * condition: contains regular expression * regular expression: (…

That appears to be a number field. Please add writes to the audit log after each Create Variable action to check if the value contains what is expected. If the second variable created is incorrect, the symptom I would expect is only one loop of the branch, which is what appears to be happening.

Hi @Patricia Francezi_iDev_ You appear to be following the technique I wrote a while ago...which replaces the value of a created variable, but your variable names are not identical: one is varloopValues and the other is varLoopValues. Smart values are name, spacing, and case-sensitive. When an incorrect / unknown smart…

Hi @Darby Kim -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! As this is an older thread, please create a new question, and perhaps link back to this one. That will ensure the maximum number of community members see it to offer suggestions. When you post your question, please include: * describe the problem you are trying to solve;…
