Jira Automation: Updating an issue field from selection in Assets

[Trevor de Souza]

Hi,

I am trying to set up an automation so that whenever an issue is created in a project, a custom field linked to Assets is updated in that issue.

 I'm not sure what to enter in here.

In this instance i'm trying to update this field with "Project Management Office" which is an object in one of our Object Schemas

Hi @Trevor de Souza 

In your Custom Asset field: Program / Portfolio, it expects a smart value to filter out what value(s) to be allowed to populate when the issue is being edited by automation. 

You may also notice a reminder showing in the image

"If the Assets field you're editing can only have one value, and your AQL query returns multiple values, the first value returned by the query will be used for the field."

So please be aware of the custom field settings to align with this bit as well.

Thanks for the reply @Zoey Wang 

So from what I can gather, the AQL syntax I would use would be Name = "Project Management Office"

As the field I am filtering for is called Name and the object is "Project Management Office"

But when I run the Syntax I get an error message:

Error
An unknown error occurred. Please reload and try again.
