Automation to edit multiple Asset information with a single owner

Question

Hi there,

Here is the scenario.  For new hires I want to be able to go to a form and select their name from an 'Assets' custom field.

I also have a custom field for hardware assets with a status of 'In Stock' and it is set to accept multiple values.

What I want to do is select a name of the person, in the second field select all their assets they are going to be assigned and then edit the owner field for all those assets with the value from the Owner field.

Can I update via automation multiple objects in Assets (the owner) if they are selected in a single field?

Thanks

Did you managed to succeed with this @Ste404 ? Thank you!

Thanks I'll keep looking.  Weirdly, even though it errors out saying it is skipping the assets other than the first one it is actually updating in Assets but the objects it updates breaks somehow and they can't be edited.

Will see what I can see.

Hi Steven:

I believe you will need to utilize some type of smart value for Lists in the For each condition and then update the Asset objects accordingly.

I have never done this before.  In addition, since your subscription is Preimum, I would also recommend you to reach out to Atlassian Support for additional tips (https://support.atlassian.com).

Hope this helps.  Sorry.

Best, Joseph
