Hello!

I've created a simple webhook automation to create a Release in Jira and then assign it to a collection of issues. However I always end up with duplicates of the Release, one Release for each issue key I supply. I've tried re-working the Edit work item fields definition multiple ways but always end up with this problem.

 

This is the workflow definition, the webhook is configured to accept issues in the POST body:

And these are the different ways I've tried defining the Edit work item component. All of these still result in creating a Release for each item supplied to the webhook

This is an example of an audit log for a successful run with multiple issues. In this case the version already existed from a previous test and we can see that the Create Version step has appropriately skipped the release creation:

And here we can see its created duplicate releases, its assigned one issue to each  release.Screenshot 2025-09-18 at 3.24.43 PM.png

 

I must be using this wrong but I can't seem to find or figure out what the proper configuration for this would be. The intent is to create one Release with the given name and assign all the issues in the webhook POST body to that Release via the fix version field. Any guidance would be much appreciated!
