How to select multiple projects in JIRA automation ?

Michal Borek_qdvr9j

Hi, can you help me please? I cannot select more than one project for my automation. The global scope setting probably works fine, but if I use the "Multiple project" option, I can't select multiple items. I tried to combine my selection with "Ctrl, Shift, Alt, Space" but no luck. Thanks a lot. Miky

you have to navigate to Global automation section and click on the rule and in rule details section, choose scope as multiple projects. you have to be a Jira admin for this as you have to select this from Global section

Hi Michal,

Welcome to the community!

You can create a single automation rule for multiple projects! You just need to set it up in the global automation settings (Jira settings > System > Global automation).

When creating the rule, choose "Multiple projects" in the "Rule details" under "Scope" to select the specific projects you want it to apply to.

Note: you'll need global admin permissions to manage global automation rules.

Here's an article with more details: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/what-are-rule-details-in-atlassian-automation/

Hope this helps!

Hi Michal - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You will need to be a Jira Administrator to do that. Go to Settings > System > Global Automation.

There you will be able to find your rule and modify it or create a new rule with multiple projects.

You have to have access to those projects. Make sure you have Browse project permissions on each of the projects in the Permission Scheme(s) attached to the projects.

Michal Borek_qdvr9j

Hi John,

in my opinion it's not a permissions issue. I've checked this on two projects as an example, and I'm in a JIRA admin group that has this <Browse Project> permission enabled on all of them. I selected [Scope] to "Multiple Projects", then I can select the first project, but it is added to the [Projects] box as one project, not one of several others. So if I select a second project, that selection overrides the entire [Projects] field. That's why I was asking if there is a key on the keyboard that I need to press to multiselect in the project dropdown.

Thx, have a nice day

PS: we use the old Jira Server, ver. 8.1.

even if you are a Jira admin, there may be some cases where you may not have access for all projects. Kindly check if you have access to those projects.
