Looking for Automation Trigger

[Burt Macklin]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for the trigger for my automation. The trigger should be activated when a test linked to my issue is set to the status: Completed.

Basically, my following condition only checks whether the linked test has the status: Completed, and then sets a field. However, I just can’t find a trigger that I can use without much effort. The time-based trigger only runs every 5 minutes, which is too long. A trigger that works, for example, when an issue is found in a JQL query would also be suitable.

Can somebody help me here?

Hello @Burt Macklin 

Can you describe the full use case for your scenario?

You can use the Issue Transitioned trigger to trigger the rule based on an issue changing to the Completed status.

You can add a Condition to check that the Issue Type of that issue is Test.

You can add a branch to then shift the context of the rule to issues linked to that test.

You can then use an Edit Issue action in that branch to set the field of the linked issue.

Hi, thanks for the Information. Here is the description of the process:

1. I open the test which is linked to my issue

2. I set the test-execution to status: done

3. I navigate back to my issue

4. Now a Trigger should start my automation, which checks if the linked test-execution has the status: done and when there is the status: done it changes a value of a field in my issue

Rules cannot be triggered by navigation events.

The rule I described might accomplish your requirement. How are you managing test executions? Are you using a third party app for test management? If so, which one? I have not worked on automation rules that specifically interact with test entities managed by a third party app.

It is an test execution with a manual Xray Test. 

I will give your way a try, thanks a lot! :)
