The lookup tables have been a great addition to Jira automation. It would be awesome to be able to share them between rules.
We currently use the same lookup table within 5 automation rules, with about 50 entries, which creates a bit of maintenance burden as the data changes regularly.
I couldn't find any open suggestion for this improvement but hoping it can be taking into consideration. Meanwhile, does anyone know of a potential workaround to share config data between rules?
There are several open suggestions related to that idea, and some posts in the original article on Lookup Tables asking for sharing / reuse:
One possible workaround is a bit convoluted:
This should have no more / less limitations of scoping as a Lookup Table. But it will not have the helpful, built-in functions the Atlassian team added for lookups.
Kind regards,
Bill
Thanks @Bill Sheboy ! Appreciate the pointers.
AUTO-472 and AUTO-736 would help make the workaround less clunky.
For anyone with the appropriate permission, it may be worth opening a separate Suggestion for just sharing a lookup table between multiple rules (or introducing global lookup tables I guess).
