jira automation get pull requests count

[Deleted user]

Hello guys and gals. 

I have the following automation

When Pull Request is merged -> move the task to the DONE state.

Sometimes there are could be more than 1 dedicated pull request and I want to check

• if there are no other open PRs -> then move the issue to the particular state. 
• if not, i.e. there is still an open PR/s -> then do not move the issue to another state

I can't find a way to get the number of open pull requests. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

Start with a look at the permission scheme for the project.

There is a rule in there that says "Assignee (who can be assigned an issue)".  It's likely to say something like "Role (Users)"

The users you don't want to have on the list all match that rule.  You need to adjust them, or the rule, so that they do not.

I change from 

• Project role
  • atlassian-addons-project-access
• Application access
  • Any logged in user

To 

• Group
  • jira-software-users

But it made no difference.

I guess those users are in the group jira-software-users as well.  (Previously, the "any logged in user" would have been allowing them in)

You are right. They are in jira-software-users. with disabled "Remove user" button.
I don't remember adding them to that list and it seems like now I can't remove them.

I suspect they are "app users" - users created because an App (add-on) needs a user.

I would change the permissions to use roles (as they're a lot more flexible).  In this case, assuming you have not done much with permissions yet and are close to default, I would

• Work out what users you want to be on the assignee list (or identify or create a group for them)
• Put the users (and/or group) in the role "developers"
• Change the permissions for "can be assigned issues" to "role: developers".
