Populate Jira Custom Insight field with multiple objects through Jira Automation

Jordi Garcia_2tfgnw

I'm trying to fill two Jira Custom Insight Fields through Jira Automation. It works fine when I populate a custom field with a single object but I can't get it to work with multiple objects.

• Custom field allows multiple values
• Custom field is linked to the issue type and is visible and works through the UI

Attaching some pictures of the configuration.

Field configuration (devices)

 

Field configuration (users)

Jira Automation logs (final result is success). Each field returns de expected results

Automation step to create new ticket with data from parent + insight objects

Example of ticket created by automation. Description field gets values correctly but both insight object fields are not populated. Similar fields get assigned properly setting the value through the automation fields instead of the custom "additional fields" JSON.

 

Hope someone can help!

Hi Jordi, 

I encountered a similar issue when trying to populate a Jira Insight object field with multiple values in an automation rule. When I tried to set the value of the Insight object field during the create issue action, the field would always remain empty. 

BUT the field would populate properly if I set the value of the Insight object field using an edit issue action after it was created. Give that a try and see if it works for you.

My situation is slightly different than yours so YMMV. On the edit issue action I chose the Insight object field and set the value using an IQL query, instead of setting the field value using lookupObjects and the "Additional fields" section. 

Also take a look at the examples found here, maybe they're what's needed to get the value set properly when setting it through the "Additional fields" section.
