force jira automation to fail

[felix.weber]

Hi there,

as you know in case an jira automation (J4A) fails only the owner of the automation will be notified.

I am looking for a solution to notify the entire team instead. As already double checked with atlassian support for now the only option is to use a separate user. (please do not start a discussion if it make sense to sent the failed-info to the team !)

In order to test this correctly I need to cause an automation to fail 

thanks in advance for your bug suggestions ^^

easy one:

just manual trigger and action to edit the issue field

here just use the JSON default  - only change is required at "custom field name" => changed it to "acceptance check" (which is an custom field in our environment)

Hi @felix.weber 

There is an open suggestion to add group ownership of rules, which would allow notification on failures to the group: https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-2009

Kind regards,
Bill
