Hi all,
I want to create a global automation that transitions issues from Backlog → To Do whenever their assigned sprint is started. However, as far as I'm aware you always need to specify a board when you want to use the Sprint Started trigger:
This is a limitation for me, since I want the automation to happen for any sprint that gets started in our organisation, and with the current trigger I would need to create 40+ automations (1 per project), which need to be constantly updated as new projects get added in the future.
Is anybody able to help me out with this problem?
Hi @Bart van der Heijden and welcome to the Community!
The sprint started trigger is fired from a board. This is just how it is. However, a board (from company managed projects) can use a filter to pull in data from multiple projects, thus grouping the work for a team in a single, cross-project view.
That approach would/should reduce the number of separate boards and sprints and also the number of automation rules you need. But if you do want/need to have a separate scrum board for each individual project, there will be no other way - with automation - than creating an automation rule for each associated board.
Hope this helps!
If you have Scriptrunner, you can create a listener that will trigger off of the SprintStartedEvent that will execute the transition on all work items associated with that sprint. If this is something that you'd be interested in, I can post the code here.
