How to automatically add label to an issue if it's added to the sprint after it already started?

[Nikita Krivda]

So I want to automatically add a label to the issue when I move this issue from all issues to the active sprint. Is it possible and how do I do it? 

Best wishes

Hi @Nikita Krivda 

There is no built-in way to find these added issues using JQL, and there is a suggestion to add this capability: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWSERVER-20097

If you have the ScriptRunner add-on, there is a function you may used to find them:

https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/jql-functions.html#_addedaftersprintstart

If you do not have that, and instead have the full version of automation for Jira, you could do this with automation rules:

• Create a rule...
  • triggered on sprint started,
  • which adds a label to each issue, something like "Planned"
• Create a second rule...
  • triggered on field value changed (for sprint),
  • add a condition to check for the sprint IN openSprints(),
  • add a condition for labels does not contain "Planned", and
  • then add the label "Unplanned"

Best regards,

Bill

Hello, 

I tried to replicate your rules but I struggle to add the first condition for the second rule. I can't find which condition I am supposed to use to check if the Sprint is in the Opened Sprint or not.

Could you clarify, please?

Best regards,

Raymond

Hi @Raymond de Ribains -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You may use a JQL Condition for that, with:

sprint IN openSprints()

That will test the specific trigger issue.

Kind regards,

Hi @Nikita Krivda ,

You can achieve this by creating an Automation Rule. @Bill Sheboy already provided the steps for that. Please create the Rule and let us know if you need further help.
