How to use Jira Automation to remove a Component

[Janene Pappas]

Our team has a default set of Components we add to every JSD issue when created. I'd like to write an automation that non-agent users can manually trigger to remove a specific Component. I am guessing I'll have to do this in a couple of steps:

1) Get the current set of Components on an issue

2) Set the Components to a modified set with the specific one removed.

I see the smart value for Components is simply fields.components, but I'm not clear on how to manipulated the set.

TIA!

Hi Fahad, 

That link doesn't really help me. I already know how to use if-else branches but this doesn't get me how to remove a Component from an issue.
