# Introduction

Let’s create an automation to move version in progress at least one issue gets in progress.

# Step 1: Generate API token

[https://releasemanagement.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RMC/pages/3168108545](https://releasemanagement.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RMC/pages/3168108545) 

# Step 2: Find out some properties you would need (e.g. destination ColumnID)

> 📝 Consider using Quick Links instead: [https://releasemanagement.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RMC/pages/3183542273/Action+Links+Quick+links+to+API+calls#Move-version%2Fpackage-to-column](https://releasemanagement.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RMC/pages/3183542273/Action+Links+Quick+links+to+API+calls#Move-version%2Fpackage-to-column)

If you want to move version into certain column upon issues status update you would need to know **destination column id**. You would need to use our [https://releasemanagement.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RMC/pages/2445246483](https://releasemanagement.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RMC/pages/2445246483) to get it.

Please copy board ID:

.. and click on API icon:

Find board by ID endpoint:

 Past BoardID copied above and execute it.

In response you will get a collection of columns and versions associated with it.

# Step 3: Create rule with Jira Automation 

Let’s go and create Automation Rule in corresponding Jira Project.

For our use case we will use **Issue transitioned** trigger.

Select appropriate statuses and save it.

Now let’s move the version into destination column.

For this we need to send another Web Request. The parameters are the following:

![image](media://1473d8fa-19fb-4aac-b543-fc5e4e69ace7)

**Method:** <PUT>

**URL: **<[https://rmcloud-prd.releasemanagement.app/api/1/board/](https://rmcloud-prd.releasemanagement.app/api/1/board/)**BoardID**/version/**{{****[issue.fixVersions.id](http://issue.fixVersions.id)****}}**/move?columnId=**DestinationColumnID**>

**Header: **Open Headers and add header

> ***X-RM-Token:**** <personal_token_body>*

> ⚠️ At the same time, the Authorization header should be removed from the request if used.

**Request Body:** <Custom data: **{"versions":[["{{****[issue.fixVersions.id](http://issue.fixVersions.id)****}}",true]]}**>

> ⚠️ If you intent to move into one of “Released“ columns the version must have a release date specified otherwise you will get an error: “Release date is required to move this version to released column“. You can also specify release date as you move using the following syntax
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ **Request Body:** <Custom data: **{"versions":[["{{****[issue.fixVersions.id](http://issue.fixVersions.id)****}}",true]],"releaseDate":"YYYY-MM-DD"}**>
> ⚠️
