Moving an request into sprint automatically based on request type

[Nick Dring]

Hi,

I have a certain custom issue type that when created should automatically go from the backlog to the current sprint.

How can I do this with Automation for JIRA?

Regards

Sprints are supposed to be managed separatly, as they are planned. 
So this isn't really a good idea to implement. 

Anyhow, if you do want to do something like this, why don't you put a validator, which checks if an issue is being created with a certain request type, then it would make Sprint field mandatory.
By doing so, you would atleast put the issue in respective sprint yourself?
