Add rules to your team-managed board

This page is for team-managed projects

If the lower-left of your project sidebar says you're in a company-managed project, check out these company-managed project articles instead.

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

Team-managed 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 team-managed board.
