How to append a user to a multi select user field in Jira Automation

[Michael Davison]

I have an automation that checks for updates on a series of fields. I would like to append the initiator of the field changes to a multi-select user picker called Transport Approvers.

I wanted to use this Transport Approvers field to capture all users who initiate the field changes.  However when I run the automation, and test with different users, I can only write over the previous user in the Transport Approvers multi-select field only allows me to write over the previous value, not append an additional one to the field. 

Is there a way this can be done? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

There is more advanced approval alternative: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.intenso.jira.plugins.jira-approvals/server/overview

That feature can be easlily added to the plugin.

There is a version for JIRA Service Desk not released yet but available if you request that on support:
https://intenso.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/21

Regards,

Łukasz

Hi!

I am looking for the same answer for Jan's question.

Why don't we have this option available for JDS Server?
