Jira Cloud: Automatically rename tickets

[Petar Andreev]

Hi folks,

I am looking do create an automation to auto-edit the summary of certain tickets after a fix version's name is changed. It is important to have the full name of the fix version's name in the tickets.

What I tried is:

• Trigger: Version Updated
• Branch rule: For JQL (project = "x" and issue type ="x" and summary ~"{{version. name}})
• Action: Edit issue fields

Here the issue is that the edit of the fix version's name comes before the JQL and hence there are no tickets with the new name. 

Any idea how to point the automation to edit the correct issues?

This isn't going to be possible. As you have discovered, when you update the Version name, it overwrites the old name. There is no change log that is kept of the old name. You are going to have to make this change manually using the bulk update.

Its not clear to me why you would be changing a Version name in any case, but I assume that it fits your business process.

Thank you, Derek!

I guess I will have to live with that.
