In one of jsm project organization fields are getting populated on the basis of reporter email address.
Same organization field not working for other jsm project.
There is no.project automation, form present.
Hi Gurinder,
Can you provide some more details? What exactly is happening and what should it be doing?
In one of my JSM projects, whenever a customer creates a Jira issue, the Organization field is automatically populated with the reporter’s organization.
I checked the project configuration and could not find any automation or form that is responsible for populating the Organization field based on the reporter/requestor’s email address.
My understanding is that JSM may be automatically identifying the organization based on the customer-to-organization membership—i.e., if a customer belongs to an organization, JSM automatically updates the Organization field with that organization.
However, I am now working with another JSM project where I am using the same Organization field, but this behavior is not occurring. The Organization field remains blank even though the reporter/customer belongs to an organization.
Why does this work automatically in one JSM project but not in the other? Is there any project-level or global configuration that controls this native behavior?

Gotcha. It might be that the Organization has not actually been added to the second project. Go to Space Settings > Customers >Add organization

However, I noticed a difference between my two projects:
Both projects use the Organization field, and there is no automation or form configured to perform this mapping.
Why does this native behavior work in a Service Management project but not in a Customer Service Management project? Is there any CSM-specific configuration, limitation, or setting that controls automatic organization assignment based on the reporter/customer?

It's not the field, it's the value of the Organization itself. And sorry, but I told you wrong as they have changed the interface. Go to the project/space, then click on the Customers link in the left menu. Then click on the Organizations tab. Do this for the project that are not showing in. Does the Organization appear in the list on that page?

Can you please let me know where I need to click now. I am under customer> Organization tab

Did you follow the path I suggested? Go to the second project where it is not showing up. Then click on Customers on the left. Is the screen print you are showing only for one project? And is it the second project? And is the organization showing there?

For my instance Customer present in left menu, its not present inside any project.

What were the EXACT steps you took to get to the screenshot above? And which organization does the user belong to? And is that user a Customer on the project?

Since the Customer option is not available in my CSM project, and I am using the Customer Service Management template, I used the available Customer Experience option instead. I added a few organizations under the project and tested the configuration, but the expected functionality is still not working.

Oh, I am sorry - I missed it earlier where you said the second project is a CSM project. No, Organizations do no auto-populate in CSM projects because they don't use that concept. It is more of a single customer submitting a request.

ok how do i configure that . Can you give me a step-y-step direction?

You can't configure this in a CSM space, as this option is not available in a CSM space.

Hello @Gurinder Summan ,
@John Funk and @Marc -Devoteam- have identified the core of it: the two projects behave differently by design. Your Project 1 uses the classic Service Management template, where the Organizations concept auto-associates the reporter's organization. Your Project 2 uses the Customer Service Management (CSM) template, which handles organizations through a different model entirely, so the classic auto-populate behaviour is not there to configure, exactly as Marc says.
Since you asked for a direction, here is the actual decision in front of you:
Option 1: stay on CSM and use its organization model. In CSM, organizations are profile entities, each with its own profile page and detail fields, and the customer's organization membership provides context on requests rather than writing the classic Organizations field. The practical payoff: those organization detail fields work in JQL, so you can build queues, SLAs, reports and automation keyed to the organization without the field ever being set on the work item. If your goal is "agents and queues should know which organization a request belongs to," CSM can meet it, just through profiles and JQL rather than a field value. The customer and organization management docs cover the pieces: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management-cloud/docs/manage-your-customers-and-organizations/
Option 2: if the classic Organizations field behaviour is a hard requirement, for example existing reports or automation keyed to that specific field, then the honest answer is to run that workstream on a classic Service Management project, like your Project 1, since that is where the behaviour lives. Your own site proves this works today.
One reassurance if you ever consolidate: Atlassian's migration documentation confirms that existing customer and organization profiles carry over automatically when moving between Jira Service Management and Customer Service Management, so choosing one direction now does not strand your organization data: https://support.atlassian.com/customer-service-management/docs/move-from-jira-service-management-to-customer-service-management/
The deciding question is simple: do you need the organization as a field value on the work item, or as context your team can see and query? If it is the second, stay with CSM and build your queues on organization details. If it is the first, the classic template is the right home for that project.

@Gurinder Summan I use an automation and some API calls. When a new Service Request is submitted, it uses an API call to get the Organization assigned to the Reporter. Then it stores that value and adds it to the work item. You could try that.
I had Atlassian Support help with the syntax, especially with the API calls, but that might be an option to try.
But if Organization isn't available in CSM (Per CSM-163), yeah, that's not going to work.
