Automation for Jira - condition when value change on custom field from specific value to another

Yuval Zaltz

Using Automation for Jira version 9.0.3 on Jira Data Center 9.12

I want to set a field value if a value changes on another field (single select custom field)

from one specific value to another specific value.

Can this be done with Automation for jira?

Hi @Yuval Zaltz

You can do this using the "Advanced Compare Condition"

For example...

I have a field, called Field 1
It has options A, B, C and D
The rule should activate if the field is modified from B > D
If this happens, edit Field 2

---

Rule would look something like this...

Trigger: Field value changed
- Fields to monitor = Field 1
Condition: Advanced compare condition
- Field value = {{#changelog.Field 1}}{{fromString}}{{/}}
- Condition = equals
- Second value = B
Condition: Advanced compare condition
- Field value = {{#changelog.Field 1}}{{toString}}{{/}}
- Condition = equals
- Second value = D
Action: Edit Issue
- Field = Field 2
  - Value = <value here>

---

The rule is comparing what happened to the field via the change log - i.e what the value was before the rule was triggered, and what it is now.

Let us know if this works for you

Hi @Yuval Zaltz ,

Yes, you can. try this sample process in automation:

When: Field value changed - select the field that will trigger the automation (your single select custom field)

Condition: If/Else block - add condition - Issue field condition - select the field - equals - value - Then: Edit field - select the field you want to update.

Add Else block - do the same (condition then edit field)

so on and so forth.

Hope it helps!

Use smart value condition instead of issue field condition.

add smart value condition in if - {{fieldChange.fromString}} = A

and issue field condition - X = D

This will check if the value of X is A before changing to D

Then you may apply the same depending on the "from" and "to" you want to check

If X = from A and X= D

Else if: X=from B and X = D

Hi Sta and thanks for the prompt response and quick solution.
was able to implement with a minor change in what you wrote:

Trigger: Field value changed
- Fields to monitor = Field 1
Condition: Advanced compare condition
- Field value = {{#changelog.Field 1}}{{fromString}}{{/Field 1}}
- Condition = equals
- Second value = B
Condition: Advanced compare condition
- Field value = {{#changelog.Field 1}}{{toString}}{{/Field 1}}
- Condition = equals
- Second value = D
Action: Edit Issue
- Field = Field 2
  - Value = <value here>
