Hi @Normand Raby -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Just following up to check if this answered your question.  If so, please consider marking this one as "answered".  That will help others with a similar need find solutions faster. 

If not, have you tried using a Lookup Table for the mapping of keywords to category values?  With that, you could identify any matches with a dynamic regular expression.  Then use the table to identify the specific value to add as a category.  This would work more easily when only one match is found.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Normand Raby! Wellcome to the Atlassian Community!

 

Assuming the list is written out in the description and that category is a Jira field, you can configure an automation with IF/ELSE blocks for each key word and edit the field accordingly. Something like this:

I hope I was able to help.

Kind regards,
