Scheduler: automate issue creation from template

Scheduler: automate issue creation from template

Users can also automate issue creation by scheduling templates to run on a recurring basis. This feature helps reduce reliance on Jira automations and keeps processes running smoothly.

How it works

The schedule is configured individually for each template:

  1. Open the template configuration dialog.

  2. Go to the ‘Scheduler’ tab.

  1. Choose the schedule that works best for your use case:

Daily: create issues every day at the selected time.

Advanced: — set up a custom schedule using a cron expression.

‘Advanced’ cron schedule configuration

The Advanced option allows you to define a schedule using a Quartz cron expression. This is a specific type of cron format used by the Quartz Scheduler (it differs slightly from standard UNIX cron).

Example of a Quartz cron expression:

0 0 9 ? * MON-FRI

This runs the template at 9 AM, Monday through Friday.
