Using Smart Values on Components List

[Lacey Griffith]

I am trying to create an automation rule to create subtasks for a New Hire/Onboarding parent ticket.  I want them to be able to enter the components and it create a sub-task for each component they need access.  

It works great but I can't figure out how to get it to display just the name of the individual components for each sub-task.  When I use {{issue.components.name}}, it shows the full list of components on each sub-task.  The output I am trying to get is if they enter "SystemA" and "System B", it creates two sub-task and the summary for the first is SystemA and the summary for the second sub-task is SystemB.  I am getting two sub-tasks with summary "SystemA, SystemB"

Hi @Lacey Griffith, you can configure the following:

1. When: issue created (or any other trigger)
2. New branch > Advanced branching
   1. Smart value: {{issue.components.name}}
   2. Variable name: ComponentName (it can be any other name you come up with)
3. Then: Create a new Sub-task > Add fields
   1. Summary: {{ComponentName}}

I hope that helps.

I forgot to mention that if you set another variable name in 2.2, you need to use the same in 3.1.

Thanks Ivan!!!  That was exactly what I needed.  I just had to add the ".name" in the smart value field.
