Hi everyone, hope all is well. I have a question regarding the scheduled trigger in Jira automations. I want to create a new issue every Monday but I don't necessarily need a JQL query. I just want a new issue to be created every Monday for the Time Tracking of Meetings. When I do not add a JQL query, I get the below error: I was told to add the project name in a JQL query and maybe that would help, but it created a whole lot of duplicates: If I use a branch, it also gives me duplicates. There are two issue types present : Operations and Projects. The issue created must only be for Operations. I am not sure what criteria would be missing. Can anyone assist with this? Thanks!

How to create a scheduled trigger without including a JQL query

Hi everyone, hope all is well.

I have a question regarding the scheduled trigger in Jira automations. I want to create a new issue every Monday but I don't necessarily need a JQL query. I just want a new issue to be created every Monday for the Time Tracking of Meetings.

When I do not add a JQL query, I get the below error:

I was told to add the project name in a JQL query and maybe that would help, but it created a whole lot of duplicates:

If I use a branch, it also gives me duplicates.

There are two issue types present : Operations and Projects. The issue created must only be for Operations.
I am not sure what criteria would be missing. Can anyone assist with this?

Thanks!

Hi @Kenisha Naidoo

Specify the project in the "Create" action and uncheck JQL in "Scheduled" trigger.

Don't use "Same project" option.

Hi.
I think that you should do it without JQL search. Set the
trigger to "Scheduled" and
Then - Create Issue - project and issuetype

I've tried it and it didn't show any errors. The error you mention has to do something with Assigning the issue not creating it. If you want to Assign the issue you may have to use
BRANCH for Most recently created Issue.

Let us know if that helped. Thanks

Thanks for this! It worked.

Thank you, this worked. Is there a reason why it didn't work when using "same project" because isn't it meant to point to the same project?

Hi @Kenisha Naidoo

For a rule action like Create Issue, the options for Same Project and Same Issue Type are based on whatever the current issue is in the rule's context. Your rule does not have any issues in context and so the specific value needed must be selected.

Kind regards,
Bill
