How can I add current sprint to summary when creating a story with automation

[Rob Geritano]

I am using automation to create my PMO admin story for each sprint.  The story is created no problem and the summary contains what I want except the name of the current sprint.

I cannot get the sprint name to append to the summary.  I am trying to set the summary to something like this  "PMO Admin - Sprint 27"  I am missing that sprint.

Anyone have any suggestion

Hi @Rob Geritano 

For a question like this, context is important for the community to help.  Please post the following:

• what type of project is this: company-managed, team-managed, JPD, etc.
• an image of your complete automation rule in a single image for continuity
• images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches
• an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution
• explain what is not working as expected and why you believe that to be the case

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi Bill the project is a Company project. I can create the story but not append the summary with the sprint name I wanted it to look like  "PMO Admin - Sprint 27" for example.  No matter what I tried I could not get the sprint name appended to the Summary

Thank you for that rule image.

With the Sprint Started trigger, please use the {{sprint.name}} smart value to access only that active sprint.

Then in the Create Work Item action, type in that smart value in the Summary field:

PMO Admin - {{sprint.name}}

However, if you rule will use a different trigger, the expression would change to find the correct sprint value.
