I have automated an epic creation when an idea transitions to status to "NEXT" I would love to be able to automatically add the delivery ticket to the Delivery Progress Field. 

PMs regularly forget to add the delivery epic to the idea. I find the delivery progress field provides a great at a glance overview of work in progress for stakeholders and myself (as well as quick access to the delivery tickets) 

I have been able to achieve a similar thing with automatically creating a confluence page when a status moves and then posting the link back to a "Documentation" field on the idea. 

 

Is there anything I can do to make this happen?

Hi Liam,

i am guessing that you create an epic, but that this epic doesn't appear in the delivery panel, hence isn't tracked under the delivery progress field. 

For that i'd suggest to also set up the issue link when you create the epic.

Hi @Liam Cottam 

 

It sounds like you are already using Jira Automation to create an Epic when the issue transitions, is that correct? If so, all you need to do is add the following snippet to the same create issue step under More options.


{"update": {
"issuelinks": [
{
"add": {
"type": {
"name": "Polaris issue link"
},
"outwardIssue": {
"key": "{{issue.key}}"
}
}
}
]
}
}


The above will create an issue link between the newly created epic and the idea ticket. 

 

Cheers,
Jens

Or you could use @Hermance NDounga  solution with the UI, which is simpler than using the JSON format  :)
