Jira Automation to Aggregate Fields

[Christopher Moretti]

I created a bunch of custom fields and made them required upon creation of an issue type.  I want to use these fields to aggregate and populate another custom field in a specific syntax.  I am not sure if it is recommended to use the built in functionality of the "edit issue" action or try to use the JSON option.

The custom field of {{issue.Aggregate Name}} would look be automatically populated with something like this:

{{issue.Location}}::{{issue.Year}}_{{issue.Person}} with {{issue.Title}}

Hi @Christopher Moretti - You should have no problem with using the Edit Issue and using that string of smart values directly in the field value.
