Would it be possible to use automation to update Jira user membership? Like onboarding and off-boarding users? Answer: No, unfortunately this is not possible via automation. Jira site management itself cannot be affected using Automation for Jira.

Will there ever be support for nested smart values? {{issue.List.get({another smart value}})}} for example Answer: Nesting currently is supported, but the documentation on this, and the correct syntax, is minimal, as it is a bit of a more obscure edge case. In your above use case, you can use the “another smart value”…

Is there a difference between standard and premium plan according to the usage of automation and legacy automation? Answer: Premium plan gives more rule executions per month than the standard plan (1,000 vs 500). Rule executions are a count of how many ‘global’ rules are executed per month. But I’m able to use both…

Is there any way to inform to create Confluence Page in a particular space via A4J? Answers: * Automation for Jira currently only works against Jira and cannot perform actions against Confluence.

I want to create a sub task for each item of a list (insight field). Right now, I have to create a 10-step rule that addresses array…

Regarding performance: is there any downside to having a rule trigger on creation for example even if 80% of tickets get filtered out by the first condition? Sometimes it's not entirely possible to build another trigger for it, any recommendations? Answer: The performance aspect is fairly minimal, triggering on all issue…

If there are multiple sub-tasks and each one gets closed, can that trigger the closing of the parent issue? Answer: Yes, that is possible. When an issue closes, you can branch on the ‘Parent’ issue. In the branch, you can check if the parent’s sub-tasks are all closed, and if so, close the parent issue

I was asked in the webinar if I could post the questions and answers from the live portion of the webinar here. I'm going to give this a try. There were a lot of questions, so I'll do my best to represent them well below. Fee free to expand on anything with your own clarification, answers, or follow up questions…

@robert_tarver @Rishabh D @partha.sarker @Taranjeet Singh @Sharon Helms @Jimmy Seddon Thank you for your comments. Be sure to share it with coworkers and peers—the clock is definitely ticking on this offer!

If you are watching this Community article, I have great news: Our new learning experience is live! Read more about it, including how you can enroll in 5 free on demand courses from now until July 1, 2021.

Hi @Jay Moczulski — sorry if this page wasn't visible earlier, but you should be able to get all the info you need about the exam here, including the link to schedule your exam. Additionally, we have this page, which details the scheduling, and exam experience. Let me know if that helps!

@Dharma Ramos & @Flavien Gache — I have posted the retiring course titles here. And will update this article text with a link to the same info.

Welcome @Gabriel L Storm… @Julia has been posting updates to the Certification program, and this one was her latest. I hope that helps!

@Afia Khan I believe that the Zoom may be retiring our webinars earlier than expected. Lucky for you, I've been working on announcing that we'll be hosting this one again this month! You can be the first to register here.

Hi @Preeta Panicker — yes, we will have On Demand courses in our new experience. If you are looking to learn Jira and Confluence, you don't need to wait! You'll be able to continue learning with any course enrollment through the transition period. If you have more specific questions, please let me know.

Thank you to everyone who has expressed interest in our beta program. We've now closed the application form, and we'll be communicating by email about our next steps in the first week of June.

@Charles Burns Now you know that's a bit subjective, but we think that everyone will enjoy the new training "better." 😉 We can't change all of out training content overnight, so some of the current, free training content will be in there, for sure, but we're certainly excited about the new, free content we'll be able to…

@Dharma Ramos & @Flavien Gache I see you both… working on it.

@Esther Strom No effect on your access to materials, but after July 15 you'll have to head to our new site to access them. Our plan is to have all active enrollments ready for you before that date.

@Suresh Patra It's going to be a limited program, so we'll reach out by email if you are selected. There's no previous experience with Atlassian University necessary. We are just keeping it small and will look to select participants across a range of use cases. Thanks for your interest!

Thank you @Hana Kučerová — I fixed that message. Appreciate you flagging it with us!

@Jimmy Seddon Great question! The answer is "yes!" but we will need a few weeks to migrate that historic data. Our goal is to make sure all current and new courses you have enrolled in are transferred and ready, first.

Registration for the Certification Accelerator Experience is now closed. Thanks to all who enrolled and best of luck on your Certification exams. Keep an eye on this Training & Certification space in Atlassian Community or subscribe to Atlassian University updates if you want to know about similar programs in the future!

@Volkan Haralali Can you please report this to our University team via this link? Sorry for the troubles, and thanks for your help raising the issue to us!

@Agatha Monteiro I see. So, in your view, you thought the Certification exam fee was included as part of the overall experience?

@Agatha Monteiro Ah! Well, please tell me how your expectations were different! This will help us develop better (and clearer) communication in the future. I'm glad you still think it'll be useful!

Hi @Agatha Monteiro! Apologies that I don't speak Portuguese, but I saw this post and wanted to make sure you were enjoying the Certification Accelerator Experience so far?

Even though Team '21 is behind us, we're still enrolling participants for the July cohort of the Certification Accelerator Experience. Click here to register before May 20, 2021!
