Save results from web request executed in loop

[Lucas Rietze]

Hey Atlassian Community,

I want to compile the list of groups a list of users in a User picker custom field are associated with. Right now I have an advanced branching loop that is sending a web request for each user. I am able to get the groups, however I am not able to store that data for each iteration.

I have attempted to use the advanced edit option in edit issue to assign them to a custom group picker field as I go, but only ever get the last set; I used update and add in the advanced edit. I have also attempted to create a variable and assign them as I go, but that also gets overridden.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this within Jira's Automation platform?

Hi Lucas,

I don't think this is possible currently.  You could create custom smart-values with the groups for each user perhaps, but there's currently no way to combine them into a super set of all the groups (without duplicates).

Cheers,
Andreas

Hey Andreas,

Duplicates would be fine as I believe that'll be resolved when I add them to the group picker field.

I have attempted to create custom smart-values with the create variable, but found it was constantly getting overwritten. Do you have advise on how to work around this?

Thanks!
Lucas

Hi, 

Maybe with this feature : https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/what-are-smart-values/

I'm looking at Monday in more detail

Kind regards,

Morgan

Hey Morgan,

Yeah, I was trying with smart values through the Create Variable option, however I was finding the previous value kept getting overwritten. Looking forward to your findings!
