Match Custom Priority Field to Standard Jira Priority Field via Automation

[Rachael Garbee]

Good Morning, 

I'd like to match a custom priority field we have in a project to the jira priority field in the project via automation. Would I do this using smart values?

Hi @Rachael Garbee , 

in this case I would suggest using the Advanced compare condition in Automation : https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/automation-conditions/#Automationconditions-Advancedcomparecondition

You should be able to use smart values to compare 2 fields, and trigger an action.

Let me know if this helps,

Thanks, yes I believe I understand using the advanced compare but I'm not super experienced with using smart values and I get tripped up. Since one field is the jira priority and one field is a custom priority what smart values would I use to surface?

Hi @Rachael Garbee , 

that's pretty easy, here's the smart values you can use : 

• {{issue.priority}} for the standard Jira priority field
• {{issue.Custom Priority}} for your custom priority field (just replace "Custom Priority" with your custom field name)

Let me know if this helps,
