How to create a new project component and append it to Components issue field with Jira automation?

[Michal Pasik]

Issue.components smart value can be used for getting the components of an issue as a list. Is it possible using Jira Automation to create a new component which is not pre-defined in the project settings and add it to the list of already defined ones?

Hi Michal - No, there is no provision in Automation For Jira to allow for the creation of a Component on a project.
