Need to transition work item if target start date is within 14 days

[Rafael Miranda]

I've tried multiple ways but for some reason i just can't get this to work and it is always showing conflicts. Could someone provide some feedback please?

If an issue is sitting in the TO-DO and the target start date is approaching (within 14 days), then this is to be transitioned into ALLOCATED and automatically assigned to someone.

Hi @Rafael Miranda -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Although that error message is not super clear, it does indicate the problem: the rule has no work items to process.

The Scheduled Trigger can process with or without work items.  When you want the rule to process specific ones, please add a JQL statement to the trigger.

I recommend pausing to create the JQL outside of the rule and testing it.  That will likely allow you to write the rule without any conditions as the JQL will find them all.  To learn more about writing JQL, please see this documentation:

Kind regards,

Thanks Bill, the JQL statement worked!

@Rafael Miranda I haven't tested this, but I believe you're just missing a "For Each" Branch in your rule as noted in the error message. I would suggest something like this:

I don't think the branch is necessary if the scheduled trigger includes a JQL expression as mentioned by Bill.
