Automation Trigger to create a new Release Version Edited

[jesse.berkeley]

Hi, 

Is there a way to trigger a new Release Version when i change the status of my release issue type? Can't figure out the best way to trigger this after my automatic creation of the Release issue type.

This should be possible with Jira Automation: https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/guides/expand-jira/automation

You can create a trigger for "Issue Transitioned" and an action to release the version.

Hi John, thanks however I'm not actually wanting to release the version I just want to create a version and have it available to then assign my cases to it.

Hi Jesse,

You cannot automate the creation of a new release in Jira Cloud without possible using the API.

Hey John thanks for the reply. This is the draft i have can you confirm therefore what would occur based on the flow below?

Ah! I stand corrected - this appears to be new. So have you tried that?

I've not tried it yet but will do and I'll report on my findings :-)

Hey @John Funk

The above flow did work eventually so thanks for your input!
