How to Automatically Update Dynamic Custom Fields Without an Issue Update

Values of fields created with Dynamic Custom Fields for Jira are usually only recalculated if the issue is updated. Sometimes you might want to have values to update without actually any user triggering a change and notification emails being sent.

We can achieve this by using a looping transition and a Jira Automation.

1. Create a looping transition in the relevant workflow(s).

   2. Select Add Transition

   3. Select From status, then select Any status for the action to be available from all statuses, or select the specific status you want to loop.

   4. Select To status, and choose To itself.

   5. Give the transition a name, then select Create.

2. Create a Jira Automation.
