Is it possible to set up automation for XRay that adds Tests to my Test Plan?

Question

I currently have automation set up that creates a set of Tests when a label is placed on a Test Plan. However, I have to manually add the Tests to the Test Plan once they are created. Is there a way to automatically add Tests to a Test Plan? I am seeing the field "Tests associated with a Test Plan", but so far have been unsuccessful in making that field do anything.

@Talsma_Dalan @Antonio Gil Coto @rajeswari saravanan the only way to do this is by using the xray API because the relationship you are referring to isn't actually a jira issue link relationship - it's a relationship on xray's custom objects. Jira automation can't touch those.

See this excellent article on an example of how to call the xray api via jira automation: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-articles/Navigating-Test-Execution-Workflows-A-Beginner-s-Guide-to-Jira/ba-p/2606780

For your use case, you will need to incorporate this method from the xray API in place of the one in the example article linked above: https://xray.cloud.getxray.app/doc/graphql/addteststotestplan.doc.html
