How can I create an automation when creating a release version?

[Jorge Bruna]

I need to add a text or description to the section “Give thus section a name”.

Hello @Jorge Bruna 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Automation includes a Trigger for Version Created. That would be the first step.

Unfortunately Automation does not include actions for editing the Description for a Version. To accomplish that you would have to use the Send Web Request action and call the REST API for modifying a Release Version.

There is a helpful article here in the community about using Send Web Request in Jira Automation to call a Jira API endpoint:

Hi @Trudy Claspill and @Jorge Bruna -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community

As Jorge mentions updating the "Give thus section a name" information, I wanted to note that is not supported by the REST API yet.  Here are the relevant suggestions to add the capability:
