Using automation to copy from a custom select field to a label

Benjamin Peikes

Is there any way using native automation to copy from a select list to a custom label list?

We have a select list "Customer Select", which restricts the set of items, but we need to copy whatever is set there to a "Label" field we created years ago called "Customer" which allows us to add multiple customers to a single issue.

Want to avoid using script runner if possible.

Hi @Benjamin Peikes

You can use an automation rule like the below to copy the value from "Select List Custom Field" to a label type custom field:

Hi @Benjamin Peikes

I believe you can do that with advanced field edits with JSON. Please take a look at the examples in this documentation to try to match up with your field types for the edit:

Thanks! I looked at this, and it does look like we can add a custom label field, but its not clear how to reference the select field.

For example if the select field is called “Customer Select”, how do you reference it?

I think our json would look something like

{
    "update": {
        "Customer": [
            {
                "add": {{issue.customerSelect.value}}
            }
        ]
    }
}

But I’m not sure how you reference single select value, and not sure how to reference field names with spaces in them.

Please see the example from @Deepanshu Natani as that is much simpler than trying this with the JSON edits. Thanks!

Benjamin Peikes

Thanks, I’ll try that. I didnt know you could use “smart” fields in the automation rules outside the json section.

Hey @Benjamin Peikes

You should definitely look at using smart values for automation in this way. This can be used for a lot of other things too.

The only problem I run into is that label doesn't support values with spaces...

So this will only work for fields that have no spaces in the values...
