Effectors are not working

[venkatesh satish]

Have any one worked on Effectors? I need help.

I have written an effectors which get values of Complexity from Parent backlog to child backlog. But effector is not identifying child backlogs to be changed.

I have written Limit to Condition as follows:

"type = Task AND Complexity is EMPTY"

 appreciate your help!!

Hi @venkatesh satish ,

Are you asking about Structure Effectors, as @Trudy Claspill has asked?

If so, it seems like you are using the Attribute to Issue Field variety and are trying to use it to populate a field that is does not have a value yet?

If I have these pieces right, what are you using as your attribute, a formula?  You could try:

Complexity != undefined

If you're not using Structure, could you please share a screenshot to show how you are attempting your goal?

Best,
David

Hello @venkatesh satish 

Welcome to the community.

Are you working with Jira Cloud or Jira Server/Data Center?

Are you talking about the Effector functionality available with Structure for Jira?

I think its a Jira cloud.
I now found out some thing that is, In condition i am mentioning "Complexity is EMPTY" but in backlog items when i check value for Complexity it has value "None".

How do i mention condition "None" ? Empty is not working
