Populate Work Item Custom Assets Field with Attribute from Another Work Item Custom Assets Field

Hello everyone,

I am having trouble synchronizing two "Asset" fields via automation, similar to these topics:

My need: When a user selects an object in an "Application" Asset field, I want the "Squad" Asset field to be automatically updated with the values contained in the attribute of the selected application.

My configuration:

  • Schema A (Applications): Contains an "Object" type attribute pointing to Schema B.

  • Schema B (Squad): List of teams.

  • Jira Ticket: Has two Asset fields: Application and Squad.

The problem: The automation works for Text or User fields, but fails for the Asset field. I am using the following logic:

  • Log action: squads: {{issue.Application.Squad Owner}}

  • Log result: squads: [IT-6640, IT-6641] (The IDs are correctly retrieved).

  • Edit Issue field (Squads): via AQL: Name LIKE {{issue.Application.Squad Owner}}2026-01-16_11h57_09.png

The error received: "Bad Request: No fields or field values to edit for work items / Unable to retrieve the CMDB."

It seems that the format of the list of IDs returned by smart values is not accepted by the destination field's AQL.

How can I correctly format the value or the AQL so that the "Squads" field accepts these multiple objects?

Thank you for your help!

Hi @Nico 

What if you in the edit action set: Key in ({{issue.Application.Squad Owner}})
