Add rules to your next-gen board

Are you on the right help page?

The following information only applies to team-managed projects.

To check which type project you need help with, look at the bottom of your project’s left-hand sidebar:

Rules help you provide more structure to your work, or streamline your team's process. For example, with a rule, you can automatically update fields when you move issues across the columns on your board.

Currently, we have two rules available:

  • Automatically change an issue's assignee
  • Automatically update an issue field

Next-gen software projects are still growing in power and functionality; more rules are coming soon. Learn more about each rule and see examples of how they work.

You must have the administrator role in your project to add or edit rules on your next-gen board.

  3. Choose the rule you want to add from the list, then click Select.

Check out the details and some examples of how each rule works.
