How to keep notification of a cloned ticket for the requester

Tony Conteiro April 19, 2023

Context

We use project A as the main (single) entry for internal requests (internal users).

When necessary, we redirect these tickets to project B or project C.

Due to internal organizational constraints: we want to keep this "redirection" method.

 

Goal

Our goal is to be able to redirect requests to the right teams while guaranteeing follow-up for the requester.

So: that the requester can continue to follow the ticket via the portal + that the requester receives update notifications.

 

Actual behavior

When we redirect tickets to these projects the requester loses the tracking.

So: the requester does not see the ticket that has been redirected and therefore does not receive any notification either.

 

Technical part

To do this we have created an automation that clones  tickets to other projects.Capture d’écran 2023-04-20 à 16.24.40.png

Hello @Tony Conteiro 

I've created similar solution for our escalation process in Service management. Our solution is the same as yours where we create a CLONE in a different project but we created an automation on Project B and C where actions were taken on a ticket that had been Cloned. 

The result will create a comment with all comments of the Clone source issue. 

Not the most beautiful solution but it works.

I hope you get some insight and find the solution useful in some way.

Hi @Tony Conteiro 

For a question like this, please consider posting images of the complete automation rule and of the audit log details showing the execution.  Those will provide context to help the community offer suggestions.  Thanks!

Until we see those...When you create the original ticket (or the clone) who are your setting as the Reporter?  Could you set that as the requesting user to get the notifications needed?

Kind regards,
Bill

Hello Bill,

 

Thank you for the advice, I've updated my post.

I copy the reporter from the current issue. Event by doing it the requester lost (cannot see the ticket anymore) the ticket cloned.

Its maybe a permission issue ?

Kind regards

Tony

Thanks, Tony.  I appears you are also making field changes in the More Options with JSON.  Would you please show that section also?

And, if you add a write to the audit log for the reporter before you clone the issue, what do you see:

{{issue.reporter.displayName}}

Is it a valid/active user?

Hello @Bill Sheboy , actualy I don't use the JSON, it was just open for no reason.

Yes its valide users.

Would you please post an image of the audit log details, showing the rule executing and cloning the issue?

Is this a company-managed or a team-managed project?  You may find that information at the bottom of the expand-panel on the left side of the page.

And would you check with your site admin to confirm there is only one field named Reporter in your Jira site?

FYI : 

Project A (Service project) => Project B (Service project)

                                           => Project C (Service project)
