Automate sprint goal?

[Nicola]

Hi There,

Is it possible to set an automation so that when a sprint is started, the sprint goal becomes populated?

We have a regular (operational ) sprint goal that we quite often forget to include amongst other higher priority sprint goals.

Having an automation in place will help with this.

Thanks in advance!

Nicola

Hi @Nicola 

What you can do is to use 'Send web request' action and update sprint via rest api.

Example for Jira Cloud - https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/rest/api-group-sprint/#api-rest-agile-1-0-sprint-sprintid-put

Example for Jira DC - https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-software/REST/9.12.0/#agile/1.0/sprint-updateSprint

Regards,

Thanks for this. I am not entirely sure how to use this, but I will find someone who does to work together on the automation rule. thank you!

Hi @Nicola 

Adding to the other answers...Here is a how-to article for calling a REST API function with the Send Web Request action in a rule:

Hi @Nicola - Not natively.  However, there may be a way to leverage the Jira API via the Send Web Request action.
