Automating Issue Transition

Using a tool like the Automation for Jira you can configure an automatic transition when all items or mandatory items of a checklist are completed.

1. Set up the needed definition to sync its completion state to Jira (refer to the Configuring a Checklist page for more details).
   
   

   Open

   

    

2. Go to the Automation page (depending on the add-on you use) and create a New Trigger for the Field value changed option.
   
   

   Open

   

    

3. The field you need to track is called 'Checklist Progress - …' followed by the name of the checklist you want to use (e.g. 'Checklist Progress - Definition of Done').
   
   

    

4. Add a Compare condition which allows the use of regular expressions (e.g. 'Advanced compare condition').

5. For the field value set {{issue.Name of Your Field}} (e.g. {{issue.Checklist Progress - Definition of Done}}) or select the needed field otherwise depending on the automation add-on you use.

6. For the condition select "exactly match regular expression".
   
   

    

7. To transition an issue when ALL items of the checklist are completed, set the Regular expression to: .*Completed
   
   

    

   To transition an issue when MANDATORY items of the checklist are completed, set the Regular expression to: .*(All Mandatory|Completed)
   
   

    

8. Add a new "Transition Issue" action. On the Transition Issue page select the desired destination status, e.g. Done.
   
   

    

9. Save and enable the Automation Rule.
