Add issue to newly created sprint

[Angel Leyva]

I am new to automation so apologies if this is an easy question.

I typically create 8 sprints at a time and I want to have a task created and added to the newly created sprint. I have an automation to create this and this works however it isn't  adding to the newly created sprint.

When I try to update the sprint value, my only option is Active sprint or Next sprint however neither there of these work for me. I need for it to be on the sprint that was just created. 

Perhaps there is a way to get the value of the newly created sprint and store it then assign it as a variable?

Hi Angel,

It's not possible to set the sprint field to a specific value yet.  However, we are tracking this feature here: AUT-648 I've made a note on the ticket with your ask. 

Unfortunately, I can't think of a possible workaround at the moment.

Cheers,
Brydie
