Smart value of trigger issue in automation

Eliyahu Klein

Hi,

I created an automation that created a value in a short text field.

The trigger for automation is starting a new sprint (trigger = start sprint). I would like the value that enters the text field to be the name of the sprint that created the trigger.

If I use a smart value of type: {{sprint.name}} the field returns me all the sprints that exist in the "sprint" field, including those that are already closed.

Is there a smart value that returns me only the name of the trigger sprint or at least only the name of the open sprint?

Hi @Eliyahu Klein

{{sprint.name}} returns only the sprint that started and which triggered this automation event. I've tested it on my instance and it yielded only 1 sprint (out of 3 that are ongoing)

Hi @Eliyahu Klein

Can you provide a screenshot of your result? And the rule itself?

I replicated this rule like this:

Trigger: Sprint Started
- Board = <Board Here>
Branch: Related Issues
- Type = Issues in the Sprint
  - Branch-Action: Edit Issue
    - Description = {{sprint.name}}

^ I tested this with Issues that had been in a previous Sprint, and were in the new Sprint being started - and the rule was successful, entering only the new Sprint's name into the Description field, no old Sprint names.

So it works for me, as you need it to!
