Looping of automation

[Ivan Andrieiev]

I need to create one task every month, I created an automation, but the rule looped and created 105 tasks in 2 minutes, what's the problem?

Hi @Ivan Andrieiev 

Please check the scheduled trigger's frequency for your rule.  It is likely set differently than you planned.

If that does not help, please post an image of your complete automation rule, images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches, an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and explain what is not working as expected.  Those will provide context for the community to offer ideas.  Thanks!

Kind regards,
Bill

@Bill Sheboy  Hi,  forgot about screenshots

Hi @Ivan Andrieiev ,

In your last screenshot, you have added a JQL with a very broad scope:

issuetype = task

This filter will retrieve every single task in your project and create a task whenever it finds a task. If you just want to create a single task, you have already specified that in your automation rule. So just uncheck the box next to Run a JQL search and execute actions for each issue in the query, or you will be getting a lot more tasks created on January 2nd.

It works. Thanks.
