Scheduled Jobs

[Onur AKÇAY]

Hello,

So basicly there are a few things that i check every morning or every friday. Is there any way to create a scheduled job for it like it creates the job automaticly and assigns it to me? Thanks for the help

Hi Onur - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I am pretty sure that could be done. Can you provide some more details so that we can give you a better solution?

Hello, 

So basicly i am controlling & updating an excel file every friday. For that, i create a job for that so my manager can see that im doing this.  But sometimes i may be busy and forget about that so if i could create the jobs automaticly (like create the job every friday morning) and assign it to me, then i wont forget and spend time on creating job.

Sure - you can create an Automation Rule with a Scheduled Trigger to run every Friday. 

Then add a new action for Create Issue. List yourself as the Assignee and any other fields that you want to have filled out for you.

Thank you for your answer. I can create job automaticly with the automation but theres one more thing i wonder. when the job is created it automaticly moves to "to do" section. Is it possible to create the issue on "In Progress" or maybe move it after its created?

[John Funk]

Yes, after the create issue action, add a Branch for Most Recently Created Issue.

Then under the Branch add an action for Transition Issue and select the In Progress status.

You are welcome.

Update: Hello, i was thinking if its possible to write date for the issues that are created automaticly? 

For example: IssueName / 11.07.2023

EDIT: found the solution, added " {{now.format(" dd MM yyyy")}} " on the summary.

Great! Glad you found the solution.

While I agree with @John Funk's suggestion of using an automation rule, don't forget that there are several apps that can periodically create issues from templates!

Because those are more purpose-built, I'd suggest that you try those if the "create issue" automation action doesn't give you all the features you need. (The scheduled trigger should support everything you need, that's why I don't mention that part.)
