How to create new Sprint when a new Release created?

[Andras M]

Hi, I know I can trigger a new release creation by adding a new FixVersion value to a ticket.

I would like to create a new Sprint now, when a new release created (and move tickets later into this Sprint when its FixVersion field updated with the same value)

Is there a simple way to automate this? I found a way with Web request (calling POST sprint of JIRA Rest API) and custom data with JSON only - but the Authorization data is visible for anyone in this case (and I do not want to share my authorization data with other admins)

Thank you

Hi @Andras M this discussion will cover the ability to add an issue to the open sprint in Automations.

Hi Craig, thank you, but this explains only how to get the name of active sprint. In my case, I would like to _create_ a sprint when a new release (first FixVersion value) created
