Automation Rule Failures with "Required Field" on Issue Creation via Advanced Roadmap Plans
Platform Notice: Cloud - This article applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.
Summary
When attempting to create issues through Advanced Roadmap Plans in Jira, users may find that automation rules triggered by the "issue created" event fail to execute when there are "required fields" on the issue creation screen.
Environment
Jira cloud
Cause
Automation rules might trigger before the "required fields" are populated, causing rule failures due to incomplete issue data.
Solution
Add a "Re-fetch issue data" action after the "issue created" trigger in your automation rule. This action introduces a brief pause in the rule's execution, allowing it to revisit the issue after a moment to verify whether there have been any updates to the Required fields. Once this verification is complete, the rule will continue with its execution as intended.
