How to add request participants automatically using Automation for JIRA

Joshua Kacen

The following Additional Fields code doesn't work;

{
"update": {
"Request participants": [
{
"add": { "name": "xxx@xxxx.com.au" }
},
{
"add": { "name": "xxx@xxxx.com.au" },
},
{
"add": { "name": "xxx@xxxx.com.au" }
}
]
}
}

 

The error I get is "Error while parsing additional fields. Not valid JSON."

 

What is wrong with my code?

Hi @Joshua Kacen 

Automation for Jira has a native option for adding Request Participants.

The trick is to not over write existing participants.

there is a value for current participants that should be included. “Copy from issue”

See this doco
