Components shadow labels

Hi,

I would like to have a custom field that gets its values from the project component.

Is there a way to do so other than creating a multi select field with all the values?

If there isn't one, how can I use smart values in automation to copy the components values to the custom field and vice versa?

Thanks

Hi @Dd

If your custom field is text field use below smart value:

If your custom field is a multi-select field:

{
"fields": {
"customfield_XXXXX": [{{#issue.components}}{{#if notLast}}"{{name}}",{{else}}"{{name}}"{{/if}}{{/}}]
}
}

Replace customfield_XXXXX with your custom field's ID.

I'll try that.

Thanks

I get the following error (I replaced the XXXXX with the field number)

Error while parsing additional fields - Closing tag (if) does not match opening tag (if notLast)

How do I correct that?

Thanks

Hi @Dd
I saw that you faced an error during the parsing.
Check the following one.

{
"fields": {
"customfield_XXXXX": [
{{#each issue.components}}
"{{name}}"{{#unless @last}},{{/unless}}
{{/each}}
]
}
}

Will do - thanks

Still getting that:

Error while parsing additional fields - Closing tag (unless) does not match opening tag (unless @last)

@Dd
Thanks for the answer.

{
"fields": {
"customfield_XXXXX": [
{{#each issue.components}}
"{{name}}"{{#if @last}}{{else}},{{/if}}
{{/each}}
]
}
}

Kindly ask you also try this one.

Hey @Dd,

Try this one

{
"fields": {
"your_multi_field": [{{#issue.components}}{"value":"{{name}}"}{{^last}},{{/}}{{/}}]
}
}

Dd_ccz4b8

Tried the following:

{
"fields": {
"issue.customfield_10272": [{{#issue.components}}{"value":"{{name}}"}{{^last}},{{/}}{{/}}]
}
}

I used the customfield defintion and got the following error in the Audit Log:

@Dd, hm... Is the custom field ID correct? Try to use the name of the field instead.

Here's my rule as reference:

Screenshot 2025-07-08 at 12.21.48.png

"Multi" is the name of my test multi-select field. The rule runs successfully.

Dd_ccz4b8

The automation ran but the field wasn't updated.

{
"fields": {
"Proposed Components": [{{#issue.components}}{"value":"{{name}}"}{{^last}},{{/}}{{/}}]
}
}

Could it be that I miss the "issue" prefix (though in your example it doesn't appear)? that's why I used the custom notation.

If I need to add it, how do u do that with a custom field that is constructed from 2 words?

Thanks
