How to automate moving an issue

How to automate moving an issue, to the top of a column to do, when priority changes to highest in Jira?

[David Freitez]

Hi @Александр Мельничук

Can you share some screenshots so we can know what you are referring to as Moving an issue to the top of a column ?

As a first look, if a priority changes on an issue and the filter feeding the board is ordered by priority, then the issue would jump to the top if the highest priority is chosen, so in the scenario I describe there is no automation used, only filter configuration.

Kindly share further details of what you want to accomplish so we can better asses what needs to be done.

Regards,
David

I have a column To Do with many issue. I want them to be automatically sorted by priority highest on top. I do it manually now. How to configure such a filter or automation? https://prnt.sc/h7H2G2zNQ4o3

Hi @Александр Мельничук

You can have the filter to be ordered by the priority, here is an example:

project = "PN1" ORDER BY priority DESC

Hopefully this answers your questions,

Hi @David Freitez it works in backlog but not on board.

Hi @Александр Мельничук

I cannot see where the JQL you are showing me in the image is configured.  If you need it for the board, then it needs to be the filter of the board, not a sub filter.
