Can you set multiple objects through Jira automation for an Assets field?

Tom Brown_fkq1p9

Hi,

I am trying to set a custom field (Assets object) using Jira Automation. The custom field is configured as Multiple = True. In Jira issues I can select multiple objects in this custom field. In Jira Automation I can only select a single value.

Is this a limitation of Jira Automation or am I missing something. If it is a limitation can anyone help with the JSON to set multiple objects to an Assets field using the Additional fields section?

Thanks,

Tom

I have the JSON working now but I would still like to know if I should be able to set multiple objects using the 'Choose fields to set' option.

For info the JSON is:

{
"fields": {
"customfield_11810": [{"key" : "TMC-1449"}, {"key" : "TMC-1450"}]
}
}
}

Solution above doesn't work when you try to use JSON and Advanced field editing. For me it worked, when I edited the custom object type field and set value as:

key in (object1-key, object2-key, object3-key,...)

Example:

key in (TMC-1449, TMC-1450)

You can list all the objects manually or use smart value with the list:

key in ({{your_list}})

NB! If the list has [ and ], then don't forget to remove them. For example, by using .replace():

The end result would be:

key in ({{your_list.replace("[","").replace("]","")}})

And add it as value when editing the field:

@Aleksandra Leesment , I assume this is Jira Cloud? I'm unable to enter AQL or Smart Values in the field-selection field/box. Thank you.

Aleksandra Leesment

@Brent Nye , yes, it is Jira Cloud. How does it look when you try to edit this object field in the Edit cell? Please send screenshot. Feel free to edit out the real name of the field.
