Jira Automation Iterate through checkbox list items and perform an action based on selected values

sfullman

Hi, I have a rule that runs when an Epic is created in my project.

The epic has a custom field which is a checkbox list

Based upon the selection in the checkbox list, I want to create one or many tasks.

-- I had this working fine when the selection field was a multi-select box.

The user would select one or many options and my rule generates tasks and links those tasks to the Epic.

As I stated above, this little bit of the rule works on a select list, and I can generate my tasks.

The requirements have changed, and the end users would like a checkbox list instead. I am having problems figuring out the syntax to evaluate single or multiple selected items from a checkbox.

For some more context, this list could have up to 30+ items. I was going to evaluate each entry in the checkbox using the IF/Else and if it is checked, then create a task.

Thanks

Hello @sfullman

Thanks for writing to us. You got this right as this can be done by simply using if/else blocks combined with "Issue Fields conditions".

See for ex:

As you can see multiple conditions can be added in these blocks or you can select multiple checkbox values in one block.

Hope this resolves your concern.

Thanks, that works.

Also, I found out that there is a limit to the number of components, I believe it told me 64. I handled that by breaking if/else block into two rules.

This is a really nice way of doing this

I try to understand something If i have a checkbox.

Modules

A
B
C
D
E
F
G

I want to create a task whatever module is select

Sometime ABDG other time CDEF

Is it possible to loop and say

if a is check

do this

if b is check

do this

If c is check

do this

i am also trying to do this, and it would be nice not to have to do seperate if else statements and have one statement that loops through the check box selction

This won't solve the original requirement. This solution will work if only 1 checkbox is checked. If this solution works for your use case you should be using a radio button.
