Hi,
We have automation in place for 'Rule is run when a new comment is added to an issue.' to re-open tickets.
However, we don't want tickets re-opening if the ticket was closed over more than 7 days. ago. Instead, we want a new ticket to be created.
Is this possible?
Many thanks in advance
Phil Buckley
add a condition JQL - resolutiondate >= -7d
this will allow the rule to continue if the issue was resolved within the last 7 days
Hi Jack and many thanks for the JQL line.
I've added and tested this successfully. Any ideas on how best to create a new ticket if the comment is older than 7 days?
Kind regards,
Phil Buckley

Sure. I would use if/else Condition.
If condition uses the JQL above and the action is to reopen. The else action is to use Create new issue.
it should be pretty straightforward when you start to play with it. However, if you run into any difficulties at all, just let me know and I can try to throw together an automation example.

Thanks Jack,
I put an If and an Else-if in place to Clone an issue, it looked to work ok however now when closing a ticket it re-opens. I guess the first rule is causing this.
What should I change the first step to be?
Many thanks again

Ok so you are missing one key condition that is at heart of your goal...
"Rule is run when a new comment is added to an issue."
I am assuming that you actually only want to execute the actions if it is a comment by a customer, correct? That is you don't want to execute these actions if one of your agents happens to add a comment since they could simply reopen it if they desired.
assuming so change your trigger as shown and add the condition just prior to your if/else
Now, if you do wish the rule to execute if an agent comments then leave off the extra condition.

Hi Jack,
Yes, you are correct with your assumption. Only execute if the comment was made by the customer.
Thanks for the highlighted information, it now looks like this:
Kind regards

Do we have an option to calculate business days in this? I mean, instead of -7d, can we calculate -7 business days?

@Jack Brickey I have another/further question relating to this, rather than creating a new thread I thought I put it here.
Are you able to answer this one....
Is automation the right place for what I am wanting to achieve or should additional steps be added to a Workflow?
Many thanks

Hi Phil, yes, I think automation is the right tool for the job here. Are you still having issues with setting this up correctly?

Well... I think I have it configured correctly but it is not working in a test project.

Please provide a screenshot of rule and audit log showing where things are going wrong.

I think you have a grammar issue here... "auther" should be "author".
One tip I suggest when creating/testing rules is to use the Log action. For example here you could log the resolutiondate just prior to the Compare two values. Then in the audit log it records the data for easy viewing.

Your right.... grammar issue. Its working now.
Many thanks.
I'll look at implementing the log action to.
Kind regards
