Automate adding adding component from a watched projects if not already present.

[Angy]

Sorry if my question have already be solved. I'm new to the community and this is my problem:

I have a jira project set up to coordinate all the testing activity (QA) for different products in the company. Each project is being developed in different team with their own components, that said I would like to create an automation that checks the components in each project stream, then if it is newly created component that does not exist in the jira testing project (QA), it should be added to the list of the component. The particularity is that we are using Jira server. 

Have anyone have had this issue before? or any idea to solve this will be highly appreciated.

Hi @Angy -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You appear to be using Jira Server version.  Is that correct?

If so, the short answer is: what you describe may not be possible using features like automation rules.

It may be easier to try to implement this either outside of Jira by building an application to call the REST API functions or to investigate marketplace addons for synchronizing project component values.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hello Bill, yes is correct, we are using jira server version.

Thanks for confirming your Jira version.  I do not believe this would be possible with an automation rule as it would require nested branching.  Please investigate the other options I suggested: marketplace addon or build-your-own app.
