New syntax for setting the Team field in an automation?

Michelle_Benes

Copying the Team in my automations stopped working around 1:30 ET today...

I have two automations that use the following code in the “Additional Fields” section.

"team": "{{triggerIssue.fields.team}}"

This worked until today, but now I’m getting errors. I tried setting the Team field above (instead of in the additional fields), but when I search for “Team” it only shows the first 50 fields with the team in the name, so I can’t select it. (Our Jira instance has way too many custom fields!)

The error in the log is:

Additional fields contains invalid field(s) in 'update' or 'fields' section. team

Does anyone know if the syntax for this has changed?

Have you. tried replacing "team" with the actual custom field ID? Search Team in Fields and check if you get a custom field id when you hover on Add field to screen.

Then use that field ID on your automation

Hello @Michelle_Benes

I don’t think this is a new syntax, Automation is started being stricter about the field key.

The Team field is a custom field in Jira Cloud. Using `"team"` in Additional fields is mostly unreliable. More stable is to use the actual `customfield_xxxxx` ID and pass the Team ID/UUID as the value.

Change is probably that the old `team` shortcut/alias is no longer accepted by the automation validator.

Here some official KB Articles related to That.
