How can I use an automation to append (not just set a new value) to fixedVersion

How can I use an automation to append (not just set a new value) to fixedVersion without using the "COPY" feature which requires me to pick a "Parent, Eipc, Target, Destination or Current".  I want to keep anything that is already there in fixedVersion, and append.  But the only way I see to do this, is to use the "COPY" feature to get the value from a known relation, and check the box "Add to existing value".  

 

But I don't have a relationship that is reliable for that. I just want to save the current value and add to it.

Hello @Christopher Gordon 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

You will have to use the Advanced Field Editing with JSON feature.

You can use either an explicit value or a smart value for the name of the Version you want to add.

{
  "update": {
    "fixVersions" : [
      {
        "add": {
          "name":"CRS 2.0"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
