Need to get 'Components' data from an Xray Test when it is added to a Test Execution

[Edie Hovermale]

This might be a long shot, but I’m going to ask the community in case someone has already figured this out.

I'm trying to use Jira Automation to retrieve the 'Components' data from an Xray Test when it is added to an Xray Test Execution and then add those 'Components' to the Test Execution.

Since Xray doesn't use the 'Link Issue' functionality to connect Xray Test tickets to the Xray Test Execution ticket, I’m unsure how to trigger the event or capture the data.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

For context, I’ve already spoken with Xray support, but the agent wasn’t aware of a solution. They opened a support ticket for the engineering team to investigate, but I’m hoping to find a quicker answer from the community if possible.

HI @Edie Hovermale 

There has been a similar question on the community related to this subject, around Xray.

This was around adding Tests to a Test Set based on editing of a Test.

There is no data action in relation to this that's recorded by JIra, the same applies to your request.

Jira doesn't see this as an edit action os there is no option in automaton to use this as a trigger.

This is pure Xray functionality and only related to Xray. Automation is not able to use this as a trigger.

here is the reference to the question @Marc - Devoteam mentioned recently:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/How-can-I-trigger-a-Jira-automation-rule-when-a-Test-is-added-to/qaq-p/2803824

Unfortunately XRAY actions are specific actions (different from native jira actions). A4J can only fetch/use native Jira actions as triggers.
