Is it possible to edit the "Team" field through Jira automation?

In the image below, Jira recently added the "Team" field, however, it is not currently supported in Jira Automation. I tried looking for the smart value (thought it could be {{issue.Team}}), but Jira Automation did not seem to accept this JSON object.

Hi @Connor Skiro

I do not know if the Team field is supported in automation, but you can try the steps in this how-to article to learn the supported smart values. Basically you find an example issue and then call the REST API from a browser to list all the JSON contents. Then look for your data to learn the name.

Once you learn if the field is supported, please post back the answer here. Thanks!

Best regards,

Bill,

You are an absolute genius! Following the link above, I was able to locate the "Team" field in the JSON object (see screenshots 1 and 2).

To validate that the field was supported, I created a rule to manually log the output when an issue was edited and received a successful response (see screenshot 3)

Lastly, as a quick proof of concept for the use case, I was able to update the "Team" field when the Component field was updated (see screenshot 4).

Thanks again for your help, Bill! I greatly appreciate it.

Best,

Hi Bill,

I am hoping you would be able to help me as well.

I am working with multiple Teams in the same Jira project.

I want the "Team" field to update when a task is assigned to a sprint. I was able to make the change for one team. But, I can't find the way to do it for other teams which are in the Jira Project.

Cheers,
