Update a checkbox through Automation for Jira

Antoine _Klee Group_

Hello, I want to write a script that updates a checkbox field without overwriting previously entered values.

Using the "edit issue" in such a way overwrites previous values.

Pretty sure I need to use the "advanced field edition" using the Json format and the "update" key but I find no accurate documentation about it.

Anyone to help?

Thanks

Hi @Antoine _Klee Group_ 

Please take a look at this documentation page: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/advanced-field-editing-using-json/#Multi-select-custom-field

To add to a multi-select option field, you would want to use "update" and "add", rather than just the shortcut version with "fields".

Another option is to capture the existing values in a created variable and re-add the values with the new ones in one single edit.

Kind regards,
Bill
