Copy Selective Components to Subtask

[Tejas Patil]

Hi Team,

I am trying to create an manual automation to create subtask based on components.

Lets say Current issue has Component A,B,C,D,E,F.

The automation I am trying is: If Trigger issue / Current issue has any of A,B,S,W,Q components (sequence can be any) , then create one subtask with available / matching component. So in this case it should create one subtask with components A & B.

Thanks

Hi @Tejas Patil 

This may be done by creating two lists of components, finding the overlapping values, and finally using list iteration to build an advanced edit with JSON expression to add the desired components.

Please see this article I wrote describing how to find the overlaps between two lists of items:

Kind regards,

Hi @Tejas Patil 

I don't think this is possible, as there is no dynamic lookup in automation.

Based on how many possible combination are we discussing this.

You might can create a lookup table based on possible option and create an issue based on the lookup table value to fill the component field.

@Bill Sheboy any thoughts from your end?
