Can I "Create Label" as an Action in Automation?

[Jonathan Barrera]

After completing a Sprint, I would like to add automation to categorize it by automatically adding a label. I do not see this option currently available. Is this possible?

Yes, it is possible to add automation to categorize a sprint by automatically adding a label after completing the sprint.
To do this, you can use the Create automation rule feature in Jira.
To create an automation rule to automatically add a label to a sprint after completing the sprint, follow these steps:
- Go to Jira Settings > Automation.
- Click Create automation rule.
- In the Trigger section, select Sprint completed.
- In the Conditions section, you can add conditions to the rule, such as checking the status of the sprint or the sprint name.
- In the Actions section, select Add label.
- Select the label that you want to add to the sprint.
- Click Save. Once you have created the automation rule, it will be triggered whenever a sprint is completed.
- The automation rule will then add the selected label to the sprint.

Here is an example of an automation rule that will automatically add the label "Completed" to a sprint after the sprint is completed: 

You can also use Jira Automation to create more complex automation rules, such as rules that add different labels to sprints based on the sprint name or the sprint's status. I hope this helps!

@Peter Tran - DevSamurai  thank you for your reply, much appreciated! I do not see the condition you have mentioned above of " such as checking the status of the sprint or the sprint name.". The only options I have are below:
