Transition affected issues when releasing a version (manually)

Use case

During new software releases you get to the point where all related issues within Jira have to be released. You could do this using a project event trigger as described in this use case. If you want to have a more fine-grained control you might want to kick-off this process manually. At this point our Manual Trigger comes in handy!

The following rule will build on the project event use case but instead use the manual trigger.

Manual trigger

Create a new rule and name it appropriately.

Providing a description will help you to identify what the rule does but this step is optional.

Add a Trigger → Manual

No further configuration needed. The rule will only be executed if a user hits the Execute button .

JQL selector

Add Selector → JQL Selector

JQL Query

Use the following Expression:

fixversion = nnnnn
# Replace nnnnn with the actual version that got released

Transition issue action

Next to the JQL Selector click on Add → Action → Transition issue

Mode

Choose Transition to status

Status

Choose Done

The target status has to be reachable from the current status, otherwise, the action will not be executed.

Screencast

This is how the configuration above should look on your screen

Import the example

Import the JSON file below to get started in no time.

JSON

After importing the JSON file, make sure to check the configuration of the rule. Non-existing configuration elements (issue types, fields, values etc.) will be highlighted.
