Bill Sheboy Expert

Thanks for clarifying, and I agree with your other notes. It is unfortunate that Jira does not have built-in capability to distinguish capacity and velocity planning...leading to the need for marketplace addons or using spreadsheets. When needed for teams I supported, we just used a spreadsheet or wrote on a board for…

Hi @Danielle Bonneau I recall seeing this question in a similar post a while ago, and there wasn't a resolution using one rule. To save you some time, it appears that you also cannot change the parent of a sub-task using JSON. A convoluted work-around would be to use two rules and a custom field. For example: Rule 1:…

Hi @Marcin Hołub -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! There isn't an automation trigger for that yet, and the work-around is to use the change log. * trigger: issue updated * advanced compare condition: use the change log to see if the epic link changed* first value: {{#changelog.epic link}}{{toString}}{{/}} * condition:…

Hi @Kashif Saleem I do not believe that query is possible with out-of-the-box JQL. You would need a marketplace addon app for JQL/scripting to do it. This would get you close, but it does not check the type of the linked issues: project = myProject AND status = "In Progress" AND issueLinkType IS EMPTY You could refine that…

Hi @Marieke Cozijnsen Adding to Alex's suggestions... If you are okay seeing finer grain data than weekly, you could do this by mis-using Jira's version of the Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD) report. This report is available for both company-managed and team-managed projects. Navigate to the report from your project, and…

Hi, Alex...that url you provided is for your Jira site. __Bill

Hi @Agnieszka Santos As Alex notes, that is not yet possible with team-managed projects yet. There are several open suggestions in this area, which you may watch/vote for, or add a new suggestion if none of these match your use case. Kind regards, Bill

Hi @Ivan Hanak -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! For a question like this about creating connected apps, you may want to consider also searching/posting in the developer community area: https://community.developer.atlassian.com/ Kind regards, Bill

Hi @BrentBot Have you considered splitting your test into two condition components: the part without the date and the one with? You could then use date/time functions and an advanced compare condition for the date part. Please look here for some functions to…

Hi @darren.johnson -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Yes, and...to what @Martin Bayer _MoroSystems_ s_r_o__ suggests: What do you want the result to be when {{now}} is currently the first business day of the month: use "today" or use "next month's first business day"? Kind regards, Bill

Hi @Timur Khakimyanov -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community, and well done! The part I find interesting about your web request, custom data is passing the entire {{lookupIsssues}} smart value rather than parsing the keys/id values out into a CSV list, such as: {{#lookupIssues}}{{key}}{{^last}},{{/}}{{/}} Looks like your…

Thanks for the update, @Bridget !

Please take a look at that first link I provided, as it has other references on that page to all of the server documentation for automation. Here are a two more which could help: * Library of template rules: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/automation-template-library#/label/all/1453 * How-to article for calling a…

Greetings, community! My question is: When "dogfooding" with Atlassian products, how often do you find your teams: * changing how they work to match what Jira is capable of supporting * versus maintaining how they work and trying to mitigate around the gaps * versus trying to influence product decision-makers in…

No worries; glad to try to help where I can! __Bill

Hi @Yong Yang Your comments of "it doesn't work" to not provide enough context for the community to offer help. I suggest that you try: * Consider creating your own/new question if you believe that will improve visibility to the question. Link to other posts if you believe that will help. * Explain what problem you are…

Thanks for explaining that, Jonathan! Ideas to improve depend a bit on who does final release work and what the team means by "done". (e.g. running-tested-features-in production, or "done with the scoped work for the story"). When people outside the team do release work, I have seen teams use release stories separate from…

Hi @[deleted] -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! As you appear to be using a company-managed project... Your task issue connects to epics using the Epic Link field, and you may set that with the key (e.g. ABC-123) for that epic. The epic name field you are trying to set only applies to an Epic issue type. Kind regards,…

Hi @Surbhi Shah -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! What do you mean when you note a tabular format? Do you mean something like aligned rows and columns? If so, you may want to create your email using some HTML markup to output the issues from a Lookup Issues action. Please take a look here to get you started and try…

Hi @Lina -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Yes, and...to what @Fabian Lim suggests: If you have a known number of tasks to create, you could include each one in the rule. If instead the number of tasks to create is dynamic (e.g. zero to many) based upon your Media field, you could try to use Advanced Branching and…

Hi @feigentee -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community! Are you using Jira Cloud and a team-managed project? If so, the symptom you are observing could be related to this defect: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-18090 Although that problem appears to relate to mathematical rounding rather than inverting the sign of…

As the symptom you see is for a single line text field (rather than multiline), you may want to consider submitting a defect to Atlassian for investigation. If you are on a paid license for Jira your site admin can submit a ticket here: https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/

Hi community! As often is the case for things not built-in for automation rules, you will need to experiment to learn what is possible. For example this worked for me after some experimentation: * trigger: issue commented * action: create a variable, and use text functions and regular expressions to extract the mentioned…

Douglas, have you tried the edit issue action, changing your field to be: {{issue.Start date.plusDays(2)}}

Hi @Emmanuel F-D and @Esther Strom To be candid, I am not using Jira Service Management, so my thoughts are based on some research and using the webrequest action to call the REST API for other purposes. If you wish, please review the following to see if it helps. According to this post, setting the value to an unknown…

Well done, @Jimmy Seddon and thanks for another addition to help the community!

I am glad to learn that worked. Please consider marking this question as answered so others in the community can benefit in their searches. Thanks!

Please see this post for two different examples of how to do this: either escaping the newline character or using the ADF paragraph node syntax. https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Submit-request-in-JIRA-API-with-multiline-value/qaq-p/1690740

Hi @hadesunseenn You may want to look at this defect for a work-around using the REST API v2: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-71841 Kind regards, Bill

Hi @Adam Lang Have you tried using a wildcard search with an asterisk for this, such as: project = myProject AND description ~ "myhost.subdomain*" Kind regards, Bill
