Automation rule with custom field to change attribute in asset DB from Jira Ticket

Question

Hi there,

I’ve been working on automating updates to Assets from Jira tickets, and I’m hoping someone can help with the setup.

Here’s how my Assets are structured:

* Car

* Wheel

* SerialNumber

* Producer

* Last Updated

* etc.

Currently, I have three custom fields:

* One to select the Car

* One to select the Wheel from that Car

* A text field where the user enters some update information

What I’d like to do is create an automation rule where the text from the custom field is automatically written to one of the Wheel’s attributes (e.g., Last Updated) — ideally triggered when the text field is marked as completed

Is there a recommended way to set up this type of automation in Jira/Jira Product Discovery?

Thanks in advance!

I tried this as this seem like the closest i could get to something that makes sense:

If i have an object called OCB with an attribute "app version" can i then do it this way?
(EDIT: i am still a bit confused about how i this works exactly )

Hi @Frederik Vodsgaard This KB is a guideline. You can use a text field and based on this value update an attribute on the wheel object. Branch the rule on AQL, like key in {{issue.}} Use the Edit Object action, specify the correct asset schema and choose the object to be updated. Set the value of the object to a smart value {{issue.}}, the attribute in the object, needs to be text as well.
