I want to create issues with smart value

[koutarou ishibashi]

Please forgive me because I am not good at English.
I want to create as many issues as I set in Select List (multiple choices).
In order to realize it with JIRA automation, we would like to set it with smart value.

Is it possible to create challenges with smart values?

Hi @koutarou ishibashi 

To clarify your scenario, are you trying to create a new issue for each value selected in the multiple-select field?

If so, you could use an Advanced Branch to iterate over the values in the multiple select field, and then create the issues.  Please look here to learn more about that technique:

Kind regards,

agreed and here is an example below. I tested this with Components field and also a multi-select checkbox field. Tasks were created and the name (value) of each multi-selection was placed in the Summary.

I hope this finds you well and as @Trudy Claspill as stated this can be done with automation for jira.
Here is a smart value link to reference https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/examples-of-using-smart-values-with-lists/

You can use the smart values {{issue.fieldName.value}} if you need. But I think you can possibly do it another way.

Here is a guess at an automation that might help or work.

Trigger: Field value change: Multi Select list field of choice

condition: If else
If multi select field includes: A B C
Then create new issue A B C

If else  multi select field includes D E F
Then create new issue D E F

If else multi select field includes G H I
Then create new issue G H I

I think this is what you might be trying to do. You have to put the action in the if statement.

Hello @koutarou ishibashi 

What type of value are you setting in the Select List?

How does that relate to the number of issues you want to create?

[koutarou ishibashi]

For example, I have multiple selection from A to Z.

I would like to create a Shikumi that if A and B are selected, Issue A and Issue B will be created, and if A, B, and C are selected, Issue A, Issue B, and Issue C will be created

Is it possible to create issues with smart value in the first place?

[Trudy Claspill]

It is possible in an automation rule to add a Condition to check a field, and if the field meets the condition then you can follow that with an Action to Create Issue.

However, using a single rule to iterate through a multi-selection list to find out which values are selected is more challenging. It is not something I've done before, so I've raised your question among the community leaders to see if another with more experience can provide advice.

I've recently answered something similar here:

You will need to know the select list values ID and you can find it like I have shown in the answer above.

Then you can use an if else statement look for that specific value selection and then create your action of creating a ticket.
