I want to change a story when sprint is started with an automation rule, can anyone help me build it

[Roan Hamminga]

When a sprint is started I want de story's in the sprint to change status. Does anyone know how this can be automated in an automation rule?

Hi @Roan Hamminga,

Basically something like this:

 

The example is from the template library. You'll need to update the last bit. So you'll use the same trigger (sprint started) and branch (for issues in the sprint). As action you'll need Transition issue.

Hey @Walter Buggenhout _ACA IT_ , thanks! It works :-)

Hi @Roan Hamminga   -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I am glad to see you have an automation rule that worked for you.

Just wondering...why are you transitioning the issues when the sprint starts?  In scrum, normally the team members move items as they work on them (pulling work when they have capacity).

Thanks, and best regards,

Bill
