two questions...automations in the sandbox and mirroring projects

[Rob]

Hello Team...1st question: can you test automations in the sandbox? 2nd Question: if automation cant be tested in the sandbox....is it possible to mirror/copy an existing project (WF, automations and security setting) which will allow for non-live testing and developing ..thank you in advance for your help

Hi Rob,

You could certainly use your sandbox for testing out automations but this will run on projects in your sandbox not production. There is an away out of the box to copy a project from production to your sandbox. You would have to manually set that up or look to an add-on from the marketplace. However, I would also refer you to this playground specifically for automations - https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/automation-template-library/rules#/
