Automation: Transition tickets to [To Do] when Sprint Started

[Nicolai Viținschii]

Hello everyone, 

I'm trying to setup an automation rule that move tickets to certain status when sprint starts depending on their current status. Basically I want all the tickets that are open/refined to be moved to To Do. Each time I've got

The rule has been configured with components that require issues to be provided by the trigger. To run these components you must add a branch for this sprint or JQL. The following c

I've checked most popular threads this, this and this either my version of Jira missing something, or I'm missing something

This is my current setup

In most of the cases above, it suggest to add [For Issues in the sprint], but I only have this

For me the way I tried to do the setup is most obvious one, apparently I'm wrong, any ideas how to fix this?

Hi @Nicolai Viținschii 

Can you try the rule with this structure :

 "Issues un the sprint" is in the dropdown "related issues"

In your rule you apply a filter on the object "sprint" and not on issues so you have an error. You ahve to specify on wich issues you want to do something.

Regards,

JM

Hi @JM Perrot yeah, that works, replied bellow that option to scroll was not obvious in the drop down

Hi @Nicolai Viținschii and welcome to the Community!

From the panel on the right in your last screenshot select Brach rule / related issues. Then, a dropdown will appear where you can scroll down to select For: issues in the sprint.

That's what you need.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Walter Buggenhout I was just about to answer, that I've found where the "Issues in the sprint" are almost immediately after I post the request and I must say it is not obvious that there is a scroll available, I've figured it out occasionally, and now the automation works.

It isn't obvious, that's true. But you are doing some advanced stuff there, you know! 😛

Glad it worked!
