Problem Description

Manual trigger rules have been moved to "Actions" menu on issue view as per https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-articles/Jira-Cloud-automation-Manual-trigger-rules-are-moving/ba-p/2314046#M762

With current UX/UI implementation there are following issues:

• The drop down is slow to appear (and populate).
• Unlike all the other drop-down lists in Jira, when you click an item in the list, the drop-down remains visible.
• The notification prompt that the automation has started appears (after a delay) in the bottom left of the screen - diagonally opposite from where the user clicks.

This can potentially lead to the same rule being clicked multiple times resulted in undesirable actions or execution failure.

Here is example of clicking the same rule multiple times in a span of few seconds:

Suggestions

• Dropdown list to load faster and disappear once the rule was clicked
• In case of multiple clicks, detect and ask for confirmation

In additional to this, there are following Suggestions aimed at user experience improvement:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/AUTO-114 - Apply filters to rules we display
• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/AUTO-635 - Make Actions button configurable
