Move asset object's attribute data into Jira and back

[Harald Heinz]

Hi, I made an automation for creating an epic. Within the epic, I need certain fields (e.g. lets call them "Order number" and "Order type") to show data from attributes of a certain asset object.

In my automation's part that creates the epic, I sucessfully achieved this, but only with the text type attribute, using the variable {{object.ordernumber}}

Now to the questions:

1. With "Order type" being a single-select dropdown attribute in Jira I did not manage to do that. The attribute is single-select-dropdown with the exact same naming as a single-select-dropdown I created for Jira.
What do I need to change on the variable to pick the selection that was made in the attribute (asset-side)?

2. How can I manage for this attribute to update from Jira single-select-dropdown field back to the equal attribute in Assets? (in a separate automation of course)

Hi @Harald Heinz 

Why don't you to setup custom field of the type assets, to get the direct values from assets?

The fields exist in Assets already, but from Jira side (not JSM) I can not select more granular than this regaring referencing to Assets:


Or can this be set after the creation as Jira field over contexts? If yes, how?
