How do I set up an automation when a dropdown is selected, it updates the title?

[Anissa Ciambrone]

I am looking to create an automation when a dropdown item is selected on a task, and the title of the task gets updated.

Example: 

Epic Name: Marketing Department

Task Name: Task 1

• Dropdown option (selected): Direct Mail 

I want the title of the Task Name to update to "Task 1: Direct Mail" 

Is that an automation possibility?

Hi Anissa - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Create an automation rule based on a Field Value Changed trigger. Select the dropdown field. 

Add a Condition for the dropdown field = Direct Mail. Or if you don't care what it is, then you can leave the Condition off. 

Add an action for Edit issue. In the box type: {{issue.summary}} {{issue.Field Name}} 

where Field Name is the EXACT name of your dropdown field.
