I want to add a  value in a custom multi-select list without disturbing the existing values 

The standard Bulk Edit seems to just replace whatever was there with the new value.

Thanks

Hello @NGATDev 

You could do that through an Automation Rule.

You can use a Lookup Issues action to retrieve the issues you want to update.

Add a For Each Advanced Branch to loop through the results.

Within the branch use an Edit Issue action to edit each issue.

Use Advanced JSON Editing to add values to the multi-select field.
