How to add Sprint details in Workflow Steps for Jira in Slack

[Sreeram Panigrahi]

In the workflow steps there is no option to add Sprint details. I want to fetch it in the user prompt while creating the jira ticket.

Hi Sreeram,

I'm the product manager for the Workflow Steps for Jira app. Currently we don't support that field for Jira Cloud due to the API, but we're open to reviewing how we may get at that data. You can vote for that feature here: https://workflow-steps-for-jira.nolt.io/22 and I think it's likely that we'll try to support the field in the new year.

Thanks for using the app.

Thank you @Alastair Wilkinson ,

I hope to see the feature soon as I'm trying to integrate it in one of our usecases in my team and this is the only drawback which is letting us not move forward, as at the end of the day the user has to open the Jira board regardless to update the sprint.

Any update on this?

Hey Donny, Slack no longer supports steps from apps in their new Workflow Builder 2.0. Workflow Steps for Jira is no longer an active product.

Ok thanks for the reply. I don't suppose you could tell me if what I am trying to do is or will be possible? Basically just want a JIRA ticket that gets raised via slack to go into a specific sprint rather than the bottom of the backlog.

Please check out our new beta app Playbook for Jira which is listed in the Slack app directory. You would be able to do this with the app by prompting the user to select which Sprint the issue would be created in.

A positive about not being in Slack's workflow builder, is that we can now send the user interacting with the playbook a message right in channel so it's easier to gather run time variables than it was in the past.

Have a play with it and feel free to reach out to me on the Calendly link (on the app home tab) if you have questions.

really appreciate the replies. I will check this out, thank you

Hello @Bill Sheboy ,

As @Alastair Wilkinson  has mentioned this feature is not available as of now. But I'd love to show what I referred to.

I was trying to add Sprint details in the dialog box so that the user doesn't have to open the ticket and fill it.

Thanks for clarifying: your need is a feature request for the addon app for the marketplace vendor.
