Add a list of assets to an asset objects list field

Luka Urushadze_wdg21f

Hello everyone,

I have a custom field - Select List (multiple choices) and from this custom field I want to fill in an Assets objects custom field which can hold multiple objects. With automations, I was only able to edit the field and add one value - with advanced branching for each value, it simply overwrites the previous one so in the end I always have a single value in the field. Any ideas on how I can maybe attend a value instead of setting it?

Hi @Luka Urushadze

 

I am not sure what your query to the Asset database is, but my guess is that it returns single object everytime? If so, is it maybe possible to use just one Lookup with combined query to search for all objects altogether? I can help you with that, but I will need a little bit more info about the original multiple select and how do you translate those values selected to assets query.

 

If so, then you can really shorten this automation to two actions:

1. Lookup objects
2. Edit issue

Once you get the Lookup Objects to return all objects you need, you can then simply use "Edit issue" action, select field you want to edit, and put this inside:

Key IN ({{#lookupObjects}}"{{.}}"{{^last}}, {{/}}{{/}})

 

This will ensure all returned objects are stored in your multi picker assets field.

 

Have a nice day!
