Automation - How to updated a multi-select Jira asset field

Susan Hauth _Jira Queen_

I have a multi-select field client(s).  When that field is updated, I want to update custom field Salesforce Account which is a multi select asset field so that each selection in Client(s) will have the corresponding assets field in Salesforce Account.

Note: For a single select field client, Automation to populate Salesforce Account is working perfectly.  (not the rule below, a simpler rule, but my lookup is working perfectly)

Here is the automation rule:

The audit log shows that the automation does find the correct object keys;

The advanced editing JSON:

When I run this rule I get this error:

I tried "set", did not work, got an error as well.

I think there's some hidden trick out there and I can't seem to find it.

Everyone's answers are right, let me put it all together for your exact use case that I also had not to long ago. 

1. Trigger: needs to be the field updated for your select field

2. action: Lookup objects with this query: (Please replace Services List with the name of your select list field or even better the custom field id)

Name in ({{#issue.Services List}}"{{value}}"{{^last}},{{/}}{{/}})

3. next action: edit issue where you will edit the asset field and add the query exactly:

Key in ({{lookupObjects}})

 

That's all there is to it!
