How can I access added values in multiple fields in Jira automations?

Gsfyris

Hello,

 

I have two multiple select user fields, Testers and Reviewers.

I have an automation that triggers on values added in both these fields.

I create an Issue adding one User to each of these fields, during creation.

When the automation is triggered how can I access the values that were added in both these fields?

Using {{addedFieldChange}} only returns added values on one of the fields.

Hi @Gsfyris and welcome to the Community!

What is the underlying goal you are trying to achieve?

At creation, you are starting from 0 values in your fields, since the work item you are creating did not exist before. So it would be safe to assume that all the users that are listed in each field are new at that point and that - whatever you would like to do with the values in each list - were not there before.

When you want to automate things based on changes in the fields on existing work items - then it would make sense to create separate automation rules you can trigger by a value change of each separate field, to work around this problem.

Hope this helps!
