It's possible for Gearset to automatically update the Azure DevOps work item's status, at each stage of a Pipeline. This article is to describe how to configure that.

Each PR can be associated with a Azure DevOps work item, as mentioned here. However, this additional functionality allows Gearset to update that ticket's status as it moves through each stage of the Pipeline. For example, a ticket status may need to be updated from "To do" to "In progress", once it's reached the Integration stage of the Pipeline.

This supports both standard and custom workflow stages, so can also be configured to update stages that you've added.

1) When looking at your Pipeline, access the settings by clicking the cog in the top right and then selecting "Edit pipeline details":

2) In the pop-up window, select the "Jira" tab to access the relevant settings:

3) From this page, select your Pipeline Environment, the stage you'd like the status updated at and the status you'd like it updated with.

This ticket has currently got the "To do" status assigned to it. Within my Pipeline, I've associated a PR to this ticket but not yet promoted it:

Once promoted into SIT, my Pipeline automatically updates the status of that ticket to "Doing":

No longer need to do this manually as a post-promotion step.
