Automation - Interact only with the new added/removed components

[Gabriel Chaves]

Hello,

I would like to create a rule to add a comment every time a new component is added or removed.

First I created like this:

But the Jira allows the user add multiple components at once, and the automation add a comment only for the first one.

I tried the 'for each' but I got a comment for all the components, I want only for the added or removed.

Any thoguths?

Hello I found a solution for my problem.

Created separeted rules (easier for now)

1. Create a variable to receive the new values for the field components:

{{#changelog.component}}'{{toString}}', {{/}}

2. Add a replace function to remove the empty items (this happens because the person can add and remove items in the same action) and substringBeforeLast to remove the last comma.

{{updatedComponents.replace("'',","").substringBeforeLast(",")}} component(s) added by {{initiator.displayName}}.

NOTE>

toString when I want to check the new items added;

fromString when I want to check the new items added;
