Automation rule to change the fix version based on key word in a comment

[Sari]

Hello ,

I would like to create an automation rule in my project, so that when the testing team write  a comment "move to next version", then the Fix version number is automatically updated to the next unreleased version

Is there the possibility to create such kind of automation?

thanks a lot!

Hi @Sari 

With an automation rule you can detect the comment was added and find that specific text. 

The possibility of the next action depends upon what you mean by "next unreleased version":

• if you mean the same thing as Jira's definition (i.e. there is a next version to release in the version list page) then you could assign the issue to that release.  There is a built-in automation action for that option.
• if instead you a later release which is not the next listed one in the version list, you would need to implement that yourself...perhaps by gathering the list of unreleased version using the REST API to determine the correct one.  If your version naming convention is predictable this might be a bit easier.

Kind regards,
Bill
