jira automation get pull requests count

[alex.tarasov]

Hello guys and gals. 

I have the following automation

When Pull Request is merged -> move the task to the DONE state.

Sometimes there are could be more than 1 dedicated pull request and I want to check

• if there are no other open PRs -> then move the issue to the particular state. 
• if not, i.e. there is still an open PR/s -> then do not move the issue to another state

I can't find a way to get the number of open pull requests. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

I have a very similar automation rule: If an issue is moved to `Done`, but there are open PRs or no PRs at all (I want there to be PRs for the issue, and I want them all to be merged), move it back. This is the relevant check, something like this should work for you as well:

thank you! Exactly what I need

I tried to use the following smart value:

` {{issue.development}}`

that gave me the following answer. In theory, I need the `state=OPEN` but I have no idea how can I parse it or get the parameter value

```json

{pullrequest={dataType=pullrequest, state=OPEN, stateCount=2

}, build={count=2, dataType=build, failedBuildCount=0, successfulBuildCount=2, unknownBuildCount=0

}, json={

"cachedValue": {

"errors": [],

"summary": {

"pullrequest": {

"overall": {

"count": 2,

"lastUpdated": "2023-02-27T08:40:31.000+0000",

"stateCount": 2,

"state": "OPEN",

"dataType": "pullrequest",

"open": true

},

"byInstanceType": {

"GitHub": {

"count": 2,

"name": "GitHub"

}

}

},

"build": {

"overall": {

"count": 2,

"lastUpdated": null,

"failedBuildCount": 0,

"successfulBuildCount": 2,

"unknownBuildCount": 0,

"dataType": "build"

},

"byInstanceType": {

"cloud-providers": {

"count": 2,

"name": "Other providers"

}

}

}

}

},

"isStale": false

}

}

```

You could perhaps use an Advanced Compare Condition step, and check if  

{{issue.development}}

Contains

state=OPEN
