Not seeing a "you've created" pop-up after automation runs

[Michelle Herschell]

I built an automation that manually can clone an epic and all its stories in a new epic. When the automation runs, I don't get a pop-up (like in the image) so I have to go to the audit log to find the link to the new epic. How can I enable this pop-up for the automation?

Hi, @Michelle Herschell 

One thing that might help is to add another action to the end of the automation -- the Comment on issue action.  This way after you run the action, a link to the newly cloned issue(s) will show up in the comments of the issue you are working in.  I tried it out with something like this:

This manual clone automation created the following issues:

{{createdIssues}}

I hope this helps.

Thanks, Greg

Hello @Michelle Herschell 

You can't enable that pop-up for issues that are created by Automation Rules. 

Automation Rules may run without any user interaction, so they will not surface any user interaction elements like that pop-up.

The Manual trigger Automation is a one-off function. While it has recently been updated to support surfacing input prompts, it still is not capable of surfacing the "created issue" pop-up.

You might want to contact Atlassian Support directly to find out if there is a change request for that.
