Enhancements to vote for

[David Meadow]

A small list of enhancements (yes I put in the first one) to vote for:

Notify user on failure -- So when a condition is not met, the user is notified, instead of having no idea and a banner that says the rule ran successfully. 

Sticky div for add component -- So we don't have to scroll up and down to add new components to a long rule. 

Allow Rule Actor to be dynamically set  -- So the actual user who triggered the action is listed in the history, comments, etc.

Hi @David Meadow 

Thanks for the information and suggestions! Yes, and...

Regarding "Notify user on failure" we could ask for a "Break" action.  This would punch out of a scope/rule and so an if/else condition with an email would satisfy your notification need and allow the rule to still terminate.  This would also help with the confusion that occurs with conditions in scheduled-trigger rules, where it is not always clear when conditions in multiple components will/will not allow the rule to continue.

Here are some of my own suggestions for automation, for your consideration:

• Create a single smart value documentation glossary https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-103
• Add a *verbose audit logging* option to automation rule details https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-21615
• Add pin actions to automation rule editor https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-21614
• Ability to pin Automation rules field https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-76386
• Log warning error when over issue processing limit exceeded https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-238
• Sort automation rules by actual name https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-21103
• Add export for rules in Automation Playground https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-75586
• Add copy-n-paste (component cloning) in automation rules https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-75521
• Add folders to organize rules https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-165
• Smart value for commit message truncates after line-break https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-20928
• Add user condition for non-issue entities https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-123
• Ability to edit a variable created in a rule with an action https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-75019
• Make all issue fields available to Lookup Issues https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-75018
• Ability to call one rule from another https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-102
• Move the option to suppress notifications to the rule-level https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-100
• Validate automation rules before saving https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-75402

Kind regards,
