Create Filter

UiPath.Jira.Activities.CreateFilter

The Create Filter activity uses the Jira API to create a new filter (Filter).

The activity outputs a filter object (Filter) that is created using the (Filter Name) and (JQL) input parameters.

How it works​

The following steps are an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

  1. Complete the Setup steps.
  2. Add the Jira Scope activity to your project.
  3. Add the Create Filter activity inside the Jira Scope activity.
  4. Create and enter a String and a Filter Name variable for the Input properties.
  5. Create and enter a String and a JQL variable for the Input properties.
  6. Create and enter a Filter and a Filter variable for the Output properties.
