Automation: Single-choice field is to update the issue security level based on selection

Harald Heinz

Hi, 


I would like to create a single automation with the purpose of setting the issue security level based on the selected option of a single-choice field in the JSM issue.
(Each of the single-choice field's 4 options is bound to one of the 4 issue security levels).

I can already configure this for each single selection, linking it to one of the issue security levels each,  but need 4 automations this way. 
So in other words, the automation is to look up the selection and thereby choose the issue security level.

Hi @Harald Heinz 

You can use a lookup table in the automation

Of course IF/ELSE as mentioned by @Kai Becker will work as well

Hi @Harald Heinz 

you should be able to achieve this with an if / else if / else block in Automation.

Each block will have a condition and check for a specifc option of your single choice field and set the corresponding security level via an action.
