Run rule once for multiple trigger

[jprieto]

I am monitoring Jira items to trigger my rule when one of four field values are changed.  However, I'd like to only run the rule once if all four values change, not four times.  Is this possible?

Hi @jprieto 

Short answer: no, however...

What actions does your rule do when one of four fields are changed?

If this is a one-time action, the rule could be triggered on a change to any of the four fields, and then immediately after the trigger use a condition to check if the action happened yet.  If not, proceed with processing.

Kind regards,
Bill

@jprieto I guess you can do it,

When the rule is executed for the first time, have one flag on the issue and set it to True/Yes.

And add that field in your If condition.

Hope this helps !

What do you mean all four values change? 

You could in theory do a lot of if conditions to check specific combination of values in these 4 fields and only continue forward if needed...

But if I have to guess your requirement, (which is lengthy to explain my i am guessing either these combinations will be a lot or includes free text field or you want it extensible) .. my immediate answer is No.

My suggestion instead is for you to do rethink your physical process and workflow so you dont need such a trigger.
