JMWE - Create New Issue Post Functions - Route to Different Jira Projects

[Emily Lukasik]

Hi - I have create a Post Function, so when a ticket in our Service Desk is moved to In Progress, a new (linked) ticket is created in our Scrum team's project.  

Is it possible to update the post function, so it can route to a different Jira board, based on another value?

Example: We have a custom dropdown field for Scrum Team.  

• If Scrum Team = ABC; create a new issue in Jira Project ABC
• If Scrum Team = XYZ; create new issue in Jira Project XYZ

Sure. You can select "Calculated:" as the Destination Project, with a Nunjucks Template like:

{% if issue.fields["Scrum Team"].value == "ABC" %}
ABC
{% elif  issue.fields["Scrum Team"].value == "XYZ" %}
XYZ
{%endif%}

That assumes that "Scrum Team" is a single-select type custom field.

If the value of that custom field is exactly the project key, you could even use this:

{{issue.fields["Scrum Team"].value}}

Hi - I used the above template with "Calculated" option for Project, but still received a JMWE error.  Unfortunately the JMWE error log is not loading for me so I can't put the specific error at this time.

Confirming:

• The Squad field (aka Scrum Team) is a Single-Select type custom field (and I selected one of the Squads listed below in my test)
• The Project Keys (ENG & Data) are correct)

{% if issue.fields[Squad].value == "Central Data" %}
DATA
{% elif  issue.fields["Scrum Team"].value == "Benjamins" %}
ENG
{% elif  issue.fields["Scrum Team"].value == "CRAB" %}
ENG
{% elif  issue.fields["Scrum Team"].value == "Mint" %}
ENG
{%endif%} 

Any thoughts?? Thanks!

Hi Emily,

you're missing the double quotes around Squad on the first line (and maybe you meant to test the Scrum Team field instead?)

Thank you.  I was missing the "" around the Squad field.
