Don't you wish we could upvote Automation feature requests: Possibility to nest smart values in Automation: https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-2086

Well, I finally got a request filed for this: Possibility to nest smart values in Automation: https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-2086

From what I see on that page, I think it's "free". As far as Data Privacy, you probably want to point your info sec and lawyercats at what looks like the standard Atlassian Data security & privacy statement But just FYI here's what pops up when I just tried to link my personal Cloud instance to my work Office 365.

OH! I forgot the quotes. For some bizarre and undocumented reason, you have to put Property names in quotes: Try this: {{project.properties."lastAssignee"}} I got this tip from @William Sheboy https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Core-questions/How-do-I-access-a-User-entity-s-properties-set-via-API/qaq-p/92490#M51725

Are you wrapping project.properties.myProperty in curly braces? It's a smart value, so you'll need to do: {{project.properties.myProperty}} to check it.

Hey, I'd love to access the ticket, but my existing login (with Lucid Motors) wasn't granted access. I've created an account with the same email as my Community profile, but that wasn't enough to grant access. If you search, you should see a Darryl Lee in your system with a gmail account. That's me. (Hopefully.) Thanks.

To jump on Bill's answer, yeah, I've really been impressed with Atlassian's "Jira Cloud for Excel" integration, because with a click of a button, it lets you refresh a sheet with the latest data from a filter. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221301/jira-cloud-for-excel-official?hosting=cloud&tab=overview So if you…

Oh man, I didn't see this til now. I need to adjust my notification settings. Very cool stuff. But uhm... I noticed I could edit the name of a rule and Publish it. Are you refreshing the rules on a periodic basis so that nobody accidentally breaks anything? [Boy, the ability to bulk import and enable all rules, overwriting…

You can populate a User Picker field with the Assignee value. You just need to choose from the (confusingly named) "Copy from..." operation in the little [...] button: (I'm on Cloud - not sure if it's different on Server.)

You could probably use a Related Issues trigger with a Condition of All match specified JQL and use something like: summary ~ "{{issue.summary}}" I don't know if I'd completely trust the tilde (CONTAINS operator) to find issues to automatically resolve unless you'd done some extensive testing to make sure you're not…

Does this work in Cloud?

So I'm guessing for you, @Simon H, it's the {{issue.parent.properties."proforma.forms"}} that's introducing the extraneous quotation marks. I think Automation could really use the inverse (converse?) of the asJsonString function. > stringAsJson or something would attempt to parse a string into a JSON object. Or they could…

Oh, but to Simon's original message, it seems like I *was* able to write a valid JSON object using the set entity property. At least it was valid enough for it to be properly parsed as a {{webhookResponse.body}}. I set the Property value above using this code: { "engineering-approver-primary": "{{issue.Engineering Approver…

Hey all - has anybody tried this lately? As recently as last week, I was able to "extract" values out of a project property that looked like this: { "engineering-approver-primary": "someaccountid", "engineering-approver-secondary": "someotheracccountid", "build-approver-primary": "thisaccountid",…

Right, I realized later that it's not exactly the same case as the method calls. Inline evaluation is exactly right. Because even if we weren't using a property, but say we just set a Variable to be a JSON object, like so: Set Variable {{alpha-approvers}}: { "A" : "abelincoln", "B" : "barrywhite", "C" : "captaincrunch",…

Sorry to revive this old thread, but Automation for Jira (now included with Cloud) *does* support Headers, and indeed you can include Basic Authentication in there, as demonstrated here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/Automate-online-site-backups-for-Jira-and-Confluence-without/ba-p/1271317

The script above was awesome, however it dumped all attachments into the same folder. I made some changes to allow it to download attachments for each issue into a directory named after the key. It's a little rough, because I got hung-up on shell quoting/escaping and ended up hardcoding my username:api_token into the curl…

We also filed a ticket regarding this issue, and I've already voted and am watching https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-75040. Question while we wait: Any ideas on how to disable Cloning while this is broken? You can do it on Server: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/disable-clone-issue-in-jira-747836996.html…

Oh, and I completely neglected to thank you for the tip on putting the key in quotes. By the way, it turns out you can ALSO load a whole JSON object into an entity, like so: { "App1" : "assigneeid1", "App2" : "assigneeid2", "Some App" : "assigneeid3"} I set the above as the value for a Project Entity Property…

Hey Bill, there's a bit in the docs for Entity properties here that says: How do I make the properties of an entity searchable? Jira Server plugins can provide a module descriptor that will make the issue properties searchable using JQL. https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/entity-properties/ So... I guess…

Hi - I think this is, perhaps, the right answer? https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Service-Desk-questions/Service-Desk-Email-cc-Participants/qaq-p/921950

Thanks, yes, I was just reading about how Atlassian was changing the billing tiers once they add it into Cloud natively. I'm new to the add-on, so didn't see that notice. It was a little alarming to see these posts about the changes, as we have way more than 2000 executions/mo:…

Thanks all, I had an old colleague look it up for me, and here's what I documented: The transition only ran if with the following conditions: If SOX Yes/No = Yes Additionally, the transition was hidden from the user, so could only be triggered programmatically or from a workflow function I believe I used JMWE for this. And…

ScriptRunner has Copy Custom Field Values but it sounds like you'd want to run that on some kind of schedule. I don't think that can be done with Built-In Scripts, so you'd probably have to roll your own, or figure out a way to get whatever script is generated after doing all the setups for that Built-In. The other thing…
