Any suggestions for Workflow validation or Custom Field for a company-managed kanban board?

[Michelle Yip]

Hi Atlassian online community!

I'll appreciate any help I can get, looking for suggestions to refine my current workflow in a company-managed kanban board. I'm trying to see if there's a way to automatically bring a ticket that's created as To-Do, to In Progress so that it appears in the active board. My use case around this is to bring visibility to critical bugs detected quickly in the active board, so there's no need to dig through the board to find the ticket and bring it up. 

Also, welcome any suggestions on how I can better refine a Custom Field that I've set up, I am lacking the knowledge to setup the validations for this field to actually work.

@Beppe MarconI don't  get you ,  once you trigger(background or fore ground indexing)  you  need  to  wait,  and you  waiting  depends on how  large  is  your instance.  therefore what  do  you  want to  achieve  here ?

Best!

my JQL isn't able to find certain link types between issues which have been created in the same Groovy postfunction running the JQL. I want to reindex at a certain point of the postfunction and run the JQL only after reindex has completed in order for the JQL to find all nodes and link types present.
How do I poll for completion and only after completion continue with my groovy postfunction?

In a post-function, you probably only want to re-index the current issue, or possibly a small set of issues that have a relationship with it (for example, as you suggest, all linked issues).

If you are indexing a small set of issues in the post-function, then you don't need to wait - the indexing for each is complete before it does the next step in the function.

Reindexing single issue doesn't update links, I've tried the following:

boolean wasIndexing = ImportUtils.isIndexIssues()
 ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(true)
 IssueIndexManager indexManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueIndexManager)
 indexManager.reIndex(issue)
 ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(wasIndexing)

still the JQL run after the above returns empty result, the same JQL in a separate postfunction returns correct results.
