conditional content while creation

Adrian.Seiler

Hi guys,

I've the problem, that we have automatically created tasks (monthly automation routine).
One field in that tasks shall show the current quarter.

I've created an automation job 'when ticket is created', with if else blocks, but it doesn't work.
The ideal solution would be in the field directly.

Is there an possibility to get this work?

We use Jira Cloud.

Thanks for feedback,
Best regards,

Adrian

Hi @Adrian.Seiler and welcome to the community,

first of all: is that a tricentis/tosca T in your avatar? 😉

I would suggest to edit the monthly automation rule to immediatly create/fill that field on creation (as far as I got it right this monthly automation rule already exists). a few quiestions to further specify the requirement:

Which field is the quarter supposed to be written?
Is that a standard field or a custom field?
Which format should it be shown? Q1,2,3 ?
you wrote "current quarter": Does that really mean "current"? so always be up to date (which means the field for all those issues would change if quarter changes). Or does it mean: "quarter at time of creation"?

Hi Stefan,

thanks for your fast reply.

- the field 'quarter' is an custom short text field

- the format supposed to be shown is Q1, Q2 ... etc.

- the current quarter will be taken by if else statement when current date will be compared by formular {{now.format("MMM")}} and given short month format in if else condition "Jan" or "Feb" ... etc.

Hi Mark,

the attached image show the if else statement when the task will be created.
It compare the current date in format {{now.format("MMM")}} with condition of short month 'Jan' or 'Feb' etc.

I'm impressed that you them and the software

Is there anything giving more input in the audit log of the automation rule? Does the rule anything or just no result at all?

Did you also consider the .isBefore - .isAfter function for smart values? i guess with this it could be decreased to 3 main-branches of if-conditions.

{{[date1].isBefore([date2])}}

{{[date1].isAfter([date2])}}

I know the company and the product because I worked there some years ago

Adrian
