Automation

[심여울]

I want to make an automation as below.

1.

If I label a task A (of Project A) with ' Lable A'

then, that task A shall be imbedded on Project B's Jira board too.

->it means task A is shown on both Project A board and Project B board.

2.

If I copy the link of task A and paste it on a certain Confluence page, then automatically task A being imbedded on Project B's Jira board.

I can't figure out how to make automation of those 2 cases.

Please give me the logic of automation of those two cases.

Hi @심여울 

I'll answer these as two separate questions.

Question (1)

It doesn't sound like automation is needed here - you just need to adjust the Board filter for Project B.

To do this, you'll need to be a Board Admin and then...

• Go to your board, and select the breadcrumbs (3-dots icon) in the top-right
• Select Board Settings
• Select General from the left-hand menu
• Select the hyperlink Edit Filter Query
• Modify the JQL to include...

  • project = "Project B" OR (project = "Project A" and Label = "<Label Here>")

• Save the query

If you're not the filter's owner, you might need to take some additional steps:

• If "Save" is not an option, choose "Save As" and create a new filter
• Go back to the Board Settings > General menu
• Go to the Saved Filter section, and replace the old filter with your new one (click/edit)

Question (2)

This isn't (easily) possible - because you can't reference a linked Confluence page in JQL natively. The data needs to be in Jira to be reference like in Question (1)

Is there some other data point in Task A in Jira which could be referenced in JQL?

Hi,

For the 1st requirement you do not need any automation rule, rather you need to adjust the filter for your project B board.

If you make the filter like this: project = 'project B' OR (project = 'project A' and label = label-a)
that should solve your problem.

For the second requirement it is bit unclear to me the reason behind te ask. Probably you can elaborate a bit more on the reason behind the ask.
