Automate Your Colored Label Fields with Jira Automation 🤖

Tired of manually updating labels in Jira? With Automation Rules, you can dynamically manage and update your Colored Label Fields based on issue transitions, field changes, or other triggers.

  1. Let’s explore how to set this up with a practical example.

Example Use Case: Automation with Colored Label Field

Scenario

  • When an issue’s status changes from “In Progress” to “Done”, We want to:

    1. Add the label “100% worked”.

    2. Clear the existing data in the “Progressing” field.

Steps to Create the Automation Rule

  1. Navigate to Automation Settings

    • Click on Project settings → Click on Automation → Click Create rule.

  1. Add an Action

  • Click Add an action.

  • Select Edit Issue.

 

 

  1. Modify the Field Data

  • Click Use ‘More options’.

  • Add the following JSON code into the field to replace the data in Progressing with "100% worked":

 

{ "update": { "Progressing": [ { "set": null }, { "add": "100% worked" } ] } }
  • Click update

Testing the Rule

  1. Create an issue and set any value in the Colored Label field "Progressing" Then Set the status to “In progress” .

     

     

    2. Change the status of the issue to Done.

  • Once the issue is marked Done, the Progressing field will be updated to "100% worked".
