Is there a way to know what board an issue was created?

I would like to create an automation that:

  • when an issue is created
  • If Jira's view was on a specific board
  • Then assign issue to a specific team

Is there a way to do this from Jira's automation, or is it going to be something done in code?

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There's no way to know this.  Issues can appear on many boards, and the users could be creating issues from any of them, plus all the non-board methods of creating issues. 

The "create issue here" function is just a convenience, it's not really "creating on a board"

You would have to read all the board filters to work out what boards the new issue could appear on, look at the user who created it and cross-reference their permissions to use a board and create issues in the project(s) each board includes,

But that will only give you a list of boards from which it might have been created, and it might not be a complete list; you can create issues from a board that will not then show on that board!
