Hello JIRA Experts,

Just wanna know if there's a way in automation to count the number of users in a multi-user picker (custom field).

Thanks,

Hi Florian,

Thanks for reaching out to us with this inquiry about standardizing and automating parts of your JIRA project and Confluence space creation process.  I highly recommend that you look into some of our third-party plugins for a solution to this.  Gaia for Jira - Project Template Manager appears to have all of the bullet points for the specific items you brought up:

1. standardized security and notification schemes 
   • Jira Schemes Management
2. we further need a few issues (e.g., epics) that must be present in all projects
   •  Automatic Jira Issues creation (w/versions and components)
3. automatically generate a confluence space for this project
   •  Automatic Confluence spaces creation

Cheers
