Jira automation : Is it possible to change a drop down customfield ?

Grace Dehergne March 27, 2023

Hello,

We have as set of drop down customfields and we wanted to set the values based on the value of a field.  Is it possiblle?

ex. 

Customfield1 (Dropdown values -> Not Required / Required / Done)

Customfield2 (Dropdown values -> Not Required / Required / Done)

.....

Customfield5 (Dropdown values -> Not Required / Required / Done)

 

Through automation : change all values to Required or not required depending on the value of the field : 

To be deployed : Yes / No

 

Thanks in advance for your reply!

Hi @Grace Dehergne

Indeed it is possible, just use the Edit Issue component and select the Select field and set the value according to any IF/Else block you have.

In my screenshot, the Impact and Pending Reason are both select fields:

Hopefully this answers your question.

Oh thanks a lot @David Freitez ! I tried it in our Jira but the custom fields are not in the list,  I think  would have to contact our admin to expose the custom fields I need.

It should be possible for the custom fields too using json in "More options".

See json documentation for editing issues.
