JIRA Automation: Delete spezific labels when the sprint starts in subtasks

[Christian Fischer]

When we start a sprint, then we delete manualy the label "NEW" in each existing subtask of this sprint. We use this label for our burndowndiagramm to count the new created subtasks during a sprint.

How can I automate that, that this and only this label will be deleted in each subtask. Other labels must no be changed or deleted.

Hi @Christian Fischer 

This rule works in Cloud; I can't be sure it works in Server but give it a go and let us know if there's anything which isn't available:

• Trigger: Sprint Started
• Branch: Related Issues
  
  • Type = Issues in the sprint
    • Branch-Condition: Issue Fields Condition
      • Field = Issue Type
      • Condition = equals
      • Value = Sub-task
    • Branch-Condition: Issue Fields Condition
      • Field = Labels
      • Condition = contains any of
      • Value = NEW
    • Branch-Action: Edit Issue
      • Field = Labels
        • Value = ADDREMOVE > NEW

The option ADDREMOVE should be available through breadcrumbs (...) or a similar option menu in line with the field within the Action.

Select ADDREMOVE from the list, and enter NEW into "Values to remove"

Let us know if this works!
