Populate a custom field

Sébastien OZANNE

Hello,

I created a custom name "Perimeter" which contains 2 values : Industry ; Headquarters.

I would like to populate it when I create an issue. So I use an automation like this :

But this doesn't populate my custom field (previous action which sets description field works)

How can I do ?

Hello, 

add the editing of the field in the first action "Edit work items fields" -> Click on it, then click on the dropdown in the middle are of the action (right side of the screen) and choose the "Perimeter" field. It will then pop up a little bit further down in the action, and you can select the value. 

If you want to do it via a "advanced" issue editing, you need to specify the actual value of the select field option, which is a number (the id of the select field option) as far as i remember.
