Hello,

Has anyone of you done such rules and is able to what json i can use to 

1) read the existing labels

2) append the new label I want to set to json

3) set the json as new label for the issue

KInd Regards

Hi @Sahoo Manas (SEIT) 

An automation like this helps?

Actually this will delete the old labels it may have and just sets the new label, I need to append the label.
