automation - move status of a newly created ticket

[eric caprio]

We have automation in place where a certain issue type from a project is transitioned to a status, it creates a linked ticket in another project. We want to try to change that status on creation to TO DO so it starts there as we deem this tickets important.

Here is my flow below and a recent error received:

Create issue 03/05/2025, 13:39:10 The set fields may be unavailable for this project/type. Fields ignored: Status (status) Issues created successfully DEV-9242

Hello @eric caprio 

If you tried to create that same issue manually do you see the Status field in the Create Issue dialog?

If not, you won't be able to set the Status in the Create Issue action. Instead you will have to add a Transition Issue action and use that to change the issue status after the Create Issue action.

Hi @Trudy Claspill , I had that originally but wasn't working... so I tried doing branch rule of most recently created, it did not work. Then tried the below, did not work.

The error I see in audit log is

Branch Rule / related issues

03/05/2025, 21:59:18
No related issues could be found.

If you try to create that issue manually through the UI does the Status field display in the Create Issue dialog?

What is the project scope of the rule from the Rule Details page? Are you creating the issue in the same project as the issue that triggered the rule?

[eric caprio]

@Trudy Claspill yes it does, see below:

The scope for some reason was single project so I updated that. It still did not work:

No related issues could be found.

@Trudy Claspill I got it by adjusting branch rule to most recently created! thank you.
