A very simple trigger doesn't work on issue creation

[Bogomil Shopov]

Hello, 

I have the following automation scenario:

When: Value (Issue Type) change for Create Issue

If: Issue type equals Bug

then: Description = test

My goal is to set a basic template when the user changes the Issue type from a Story to a Bug before the issue is created.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @Bogomil Shopov and welcome to the community!

The thing is that Jira do not see the initial selection of issue type as a change. Therefore the rule will not trigger. What I would do is just to:

• On issue create
• If issue type = bug
  • Then do something

Hope I make myself clear. Let me know if you need any clarifications.

Alex, thanks! I tried this, based on your  instructions, but the result is the same:

@Bogomil Shopov if that's ok with you, kindly try to reply to the thread I've created, to keep the conversation consistent.

Now, your rule is ok. Try refreshing the page, and take a look at the audit log. It should mark "Success".

I see the success, but I need the template(field change) to appear before hitting the create button, so the person who adds the bug to be able to fill-in specific details.

Aha!

So what you need is the user to have different create screen fields, for the (at least) two different issue types, right?

E.g. for the task (I'll use the Epic issue type for demonstration purposes)

and for the bug

If that's the case, then you need two create at least two different screen schemes, one foe each issue type. For each screen scheme you have to create one screen (at least) which you will then associate to the create issue operation.

Let me know if that's what you wanted to do.

Hi @Bogomil Shopov ,

Can you show me the audit log after you run this rule?
