Jira cloud automation user condition: Initiator is one of request participants

[Rebecca]

Hello,

in Jira Service Management Cloud Automation I need a (kind of) user condition to check whether the initiator is one of the request participants like this:

If INITIATOR is any of REQUEST PARTICIPANTS then ...

Not all request participants are customers, so I cannot use the customer condition.

Do you have an idea how to solve this?

Thanks :)

Hi, @Rebecca  - you can do this using the JQL condition with a smart value, rather than a user condition. 

Your condition would look like this:

Hi @Esther Strom, thank you very much for your quick help!!! This is exactly what I was looking for.

@Esther Strom isn't jql conditions performance-costly?

I think advanced compare condition would be more efficient

something like:

{{issue.customfield_14402}}

contains

{{initiator}}
