Rename a version when another version is renamed using jira automation

[Thomas Huber]

I want to set up an automation rule in Jira which does the following:

Trigger: Version in Project 1 is renamed from Version_Upcoming to Version_1

Action: Rename the version Version_Upcoming in Project 2 from Version_Upcoming to Version_1

The trigger seems straightforward. Where I am struggeling is accessing the required data in the action(log action). In particular I need:

* The old version name Version_Upcoming which wa renamed.

I tried finding the correct smart value using the log action... with no success.

Also, once the tirgger works, the next step is renaming the version in Project 2. Is there an action which does this?

If this is not possible what other ways are ther to synchronize versions? I am aware that AddOns exists but would rather do it myself.

Any other suggestions?

Ok thanks for that. I was not aware that there is a Send Web Request action.

So now I only need to get the old version name from somewhere.

Hello @Thomas Huber 

I have not found an answer to your first question about accessing the original value of a Version field when the Version Updated trigger is used.

Regarding your second question, there is no Automation Action specifically for renaming a version. To do that you would need to use the Send Web Request action and the REST API for Project Versions:
