Hello Brains Trust Automations, I have an automation I need to limit to only work by specific project category types... how (can) I do this? I know I limit to: * Global - not the best as there are some projects that don't have a field I need to update, leads to errors and is not a very elegant solution (but an ok workaround as the errors don't effect anything apart from the audit log) * Single project - I need to run it across a number of projects * Multiple projects - I want it to be dynamic, i.e. so users don't need to remember to add it to the automation if they create a new project. * Project type - I need it to potentially run across project types TIA

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Automations, I have an automation I need to limit to only work by specific project category types... how (can) I do this?

I know I limit to:

Global - not the best as there are some projects that don't have a field I need to update, leads to errors and is not a very elegant solution (but an ok workaround as the errors don't effect anything apart from the audit log)
Single project - I need to run it across a number of projects
Multiple projects - I want it to be dynamic, i.e. so users don't need to remember to add it to the automation if they create a new project.
Project type - I need it to potentially run across project types

TIA

You cannot limit the automation under rules details to a specific category, but you can add a JQL condition in your rule that checks if the issue belongs to a project in a specific category like this:
