automatic jira page update after automation rule application

[Consulente Atlassian]

I remain very very disappointed with Atlassian. But how do you keep such an important feature like auto refresh of the page after the action of an automation rule, stuck in "request of interest" since 2018 !!!!!???? Does anyone happen to know an alternative method to force a custom field to refresh after making an automation rule?

Hi @Consulente Atlassian 

This is sort of possible I've found with some triggers.

On Triggers such as...

• Field value changed and...
• Issue updated

You can open the More options section and check Execute this rule immediately when the rule is triggered, instead of in the background

This means instead of waiting until the page refresh, the actions are included in the triggering action (eg. editing an issue) - and thus an inline edit will include the automated actions also.

Do take note of the warning though when enabling this...

Enabling this option means that an issue operation performed by a user (e.g. edit issue) will not complete until all automation rules triggered by the issue event have finished executing. Results of the rule executions will be shown immediately.

This can cause performance problems for Jira depending on the number of rules listening for events, and depending on how many issue events get triggered concurrently. If in doubt, please leave this option turned off!

Please note that rules triggered by 'Issue created' or 'Issue transitioned' and containing a 'Transition action' cannot be executed immediately. This is due to limitations with Jira's workflow engine. See JRASERVER-40597 for more details.

Let us know if this resolves your query!
