Loop in Jira automation

Question

Hello I am trying do something like:
versions = version1, version2, version3, version4, version5;

for version in versions:
  if version = requiredVersion1
    update status;
 elif version = requiredversion2
    add label;
else
  send email;

Is it possible to achieve similar result with Jira Automation, can someone help me please with example how to do it.

Thank you in advance

Based on this topic's label, it must be Cloud related. If so, then I vote for using the "Advanced Branch" automation rule component.

Hi @Mani Kumar -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Which version of Jira are you using: Cloud, Server, or Data Center?

With Cloud, automation rules have an Advanced Branch to loop over a list of value: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-automation-branches/#Advanced-branching

Please note well: branches over more than one thing process in parallel and asynchronously, so updating the same work item with a loop could have problems due to collisions.

For Server / Data Center, that branch type does not exist yet.  Instead, I rule would need to use two rules, where one has an Incoming Webhook Trigger and is called recursively.

Kind regards,
Bill
