Automation to add list of issues from JQL to ticket description

Damien Polegato October 20, 2024

We have an automation to auto create a ticket for managing releases each time a version is created in our board.

In the release ticket description I would like to have a dynamic list of issues from a simple JQL (fixVersion = 123) so I add the following in the ticket creation automation:

https://domain.atlassian.net/issues/?jql=fixVersion%20%3D%20{{version.name}}%20ORDER%20BY%20created%20DESC

This shows a link url when ticket is created, what I would like is to directly embed a ticket list, which is the behavior when I paste the url into a ticket description or insert a issue search manually.

Is there a way for this to auto display like a table ?

Hi Damien,

Correct me if I'm wrong - you would like to display an embedded issue list in the description field of the ticket (Smart Links view). By following that, you could use something like this https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/use-automation-to-edit-link-formatting-on-paragraph-fields-1157182190.html. However, I only managed to get the card format in the description field by using the following value [URL|URL|smart-card].

I've tried using smart-list but that didn't get the desired result. When looking at JSON for an issue that has an embedded list in the description, it still says smart-card in the field value.

I would suggest trying out different values for the smart link display. If nothing works, maybe try to reach out to Support to see if they can share some insights.
As embedding issue lists is relatively new, this might not yet be supported.

Cheers,
Tom

Hi Damien,

You can do that using the Lookup Issues functionality in the Automation Rule.

Looking up issues is easy but displaying them as a smart table is what i cannot do
