Having an automatic label for a project

[Elif Alverson]

Hello, 

Is it possible to set a label such as 2018 when a new project created? Or after it is created.

Thank you.

@Elif Alverson  Hiiii

Yes you can use project automation. After creating your project, go to setting, then go to project automation and then go as below:

Hi @Elif Alverson, can you clarify how you are using the word "project"?  Do you mean a new project, which is a collection of issues in Jira, with a unique key or are you talking about an issue in Jira that represents something your team is working on?

If it's the latter, yes, you can populate fields, on the Create action, using workflow behaviors.  Also, you could bulk add the label to lots of existing issues.  But before I type out directions for any of that, Jira already logs the date an issue is created.  Adding a label that includes the year seems like a duplication of an existing element that's not needed.  Just limit your query to issues "created in 2018", instead of issues with the label "2018".

Or, maybe I don't understand your question.  :)  Let us know more info about your use case and maybe we can help you more!

Hello, @Rachel Wright , 

Thank you for your response. When I state " Project " , I mean a new " Software Jira Project" which is a collection of issues in Jira, with a unique key. 

2018 was just an example as a labels. Lets say " Office365" instead. 

Please let me know, if my answer make more sense now.

Thank you for your time.
