JIRA Cloud - in automation, how to add a new label, not edit the label.

I don't want to overwrite current label, if I want to add a new label, how to do?

Hello @Benjamin Zhou 

In order to add a new label in your automation, you'll need to set the automation action as "Edit Work Item" and select  labels from the fields.

From here, it defaults to "Set" which means to add a label without overwriting what is there

If you want to simultaneously Add or remove labels, you can click the 3 dots to the right of the field and select ADDREMOVE and this will give you that option

@Chris Hampshire  Ok, I see.  According to your reply, I found the add option.  Thank you very much for your help!
