How can I automate ”moving issues from the TODO panel to the In Process panel“？

How can I automate moving issues from the TODO panel to the In Process panel when the specified issue start date begins?

For example, an issue’s start day is set on Feb 22 and its status is TODO, when Feb 22, the status of the issue will change into in process.

Hi,

you can do it using automation and scheduled trigger. The rule will iterate over each issue and if the start date is equal to today then transition the issue to process status

Thanks a lot.

Hi @張博勛 -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What do you mean by "TODO panel"?  Do you mean the status on the Jira board by its columns?

If that is the case, an automation rule with a scheduled trigger and JQL to find the issues could be used to then transition their status value, however...

What problem are you trying to solve?  That is, "why do this?"

Automatically moving the issues on the board may make them appear to be "in progress" when people are not ready to actually work on them yet.  This will create confusion for the team members and others looking at progress.

Kind regards,
Bill

Thank you for replying.

The reason I established this rule is that I use this project to record my daily tasks, not for work.
