Goal

Get a clear view of your team’s backlog

Scenario

Do your epics stay in the backlog of your Jira agile board after closing them?

...

Here's why.

Besides the workflow status, epics have an additional field called

...

epic status which is only accessible on the Backlog screen. Only epics with the Epic status field marked as

...

Status
colourGreen
titleDONE
get removed from the backlog.

Let's have a look at how this can be automated using JSU

How to configure this

...

rule

  1. Go to Project Settings > Workflows and click Edit for the required workflow.

...

  1. Choose the transition where you want to perform your post function. In this case, we choose the

...

  1. transition to

    Status
    colourGreen
    titleDONE
    .

  2. Select the Post Functions tab and click Add post function.

  3. Select the Update any Issue Field (JSU) post function, then click Add.

  4. Because we want this post function to perform only for

...

  1. epics, we will need to configure a precondition. Therefore, we set the precondition to be true at the beginning of the post function configuration.

  2. In this transition, you want to have your

...

  1. epic status updated to

...

  1. Status
    colourGreen
    titledone
    .

    1. Select Within same Issue for the issue relation.

    2. Select Epic Status for the Issue Field.

...

  1. epic issues. Click Add post function, select Precondition: Value Field (JSU) then click Add.

  2. Configure your precondition by choosing Issue type

  2. Publish your workflow.

  3. Now check what you have achieved with JSU. Your

...

  1. epic is currently visible on the

...

  1. backlog. Move your

...

  1. epic to

    Status
    colourGreen
    titledone
    and go back to your

  1. backlog. Your
