      When copying data from Jira production site into sandbox, the Jira automation rules are not carried over.

      Automation rules are not included in Jira's site backup and the data will need to be migrated manually using the export and import feature of Jira automation.

      Suggestion : Consider the automation rules on the copy functionality for Sandbox.

            [CLOUD-11161] Data copied from production to sandbox does not include the Jira automation rule data

            f42bc381263c,

            Recently I found export / import functionality for Automations that might help you. You will need to have Site Admin privileges for both Production and Sandbox.

            Export

            1. Open your Production Jira Instance
            2. Click on the Settings cog in the upper right corner
            3. Choose 'System'
            4. Select 'Global automation'
            5. To export one automation:
              1. Find the automation you would like to export. On the far right choose the ellipses "...", select 'Export'
            6. To export all automations:
              1. Choose the  ellipses "..." at the top of the Automation screen
              2. choose "Export rules'
              3. On the next page choose Next

            Import

            1. Open your Sandbox
            2. Click on the Settings cog in the upper right corner
            3. Choose 'System'
            4. Select 'Global automation'
            5. Choose the  ellipses "..." at the top of the Automation screen
            6. Choose "Import rules'
            7. On the next page select 'Upload JSON'
            8. Select the exported rules file, choose Open
            9. Choose the checkbox next to the automation(s) you want to import.
            10. Choose Next

            Hope this helps

            Please rise priority as critical:

            Considering how a new automation not enough tested can create massive havoc against all existing automation, any professionnal admin and project admin MUST test any new automation in Sandbox environment.
            Same need for testing against current Automation in Sandbox when installing plugin that will introduce their own automations like:

            • Structure
            • Jira Excel Synchroniser
              etc.

            +1 This is a very useful feature to many Atlassian customers and also this reduces the lot of manual effort for admins

            We've got over 100 different rules across or prod environment, not having these in sandbox severely undermines the value of the sandbox environment
