Automatically move a story to Board or Backlog when changing its status

[Ian Vaughan]

Using a team-managed project, setup as Kanban, we have the Board and Backlog:

But we have to manually drag tickets to/from the Board/Backlog!

We have two statues that should reflect which board they show on.

• Draft Backlog -> Backlog
• Ready Backlog -> Board

How can I automatically move tickets from one to the other?

I tried setting up Automation, but cannot find the correct action to perform.

Eg here I tried setting it to "Next Sprint":

But get this error: "You have selected a Next Gen kanban board. Select a board that uses sprints to continue."

Dear @richa priyanka,

there is no specific REST function for this.  You have to fire a

GET /api/2/issue/<issue key>&fields=*all&expand=changelog

with the additional information of expanding the history. Then your app/script has to parse through all history events and count itself.

All the information you require is within the history.

So long

Thomas

Dear @richa priyanka,

can I help you further or was my answer good enough to be accepted?

Many Thanks
