How to create a loop on a automation rule about aseets objects

[齋藤知慧]

Hi there,

I wanr to create a automation that to find assets where the 'machine name' attribute is not empty, and then populate a custom field in the order they are found. Currently, I am using `get()`, but I would like to use a loop. How can I achieve this?

Hi @齋藤知慧 

If you are trying to do this with rule branching to loop, you cannot determine or know the processing order.  The reason is branches which could be on more than one issue / item process in parallel and asynchronously to improve rule performance.  Please look here to learn more about that: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-automation-branches/#Ordering-of-branch-executions

If you are trying to concatenate the values found using Lookup Objects, it may be possible to add them in a specific field (e.g., a text field) using list iteration.  Please look here to see examples of such iteration: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-lists/#Combined-function-examples

Kind regards,
Bill
