Edit project category

[Jovânio Sousa Morais Junior]

Would it be possible to edit the project category through a selection field on my item?

Hi @Jovânio Sousa Morais Junior ,

I guess you could use Automation for this. Within the automation rule, you can use webhook ("Send web request") action and Jira REST API to update the project category. Here are some materials on the topic:

• Automation webhooks 
• REST API | Update project 

Basically, you could send a web request to Jira which would, within the web request body, contain categoryId to which you want to change it.

Depending on how many categories you have, you can use simple IF/ELSE logic, or you can use Lookup table action to store category IDs. This would be more elegant solution I would say.

Cheers,
Tom

Hi @Jovânio Sousa Morais Junior 

Welcome to our Community.

What do you mean "through a selection field on my item"? Project category options can be edited through:

Hope it helps,

Thank you for your reply.

I will explain my need better:

I would like to update the project category (print1) through a custom field (print2)

The idea is:

When this custom field is changed, it should reflect the project category.

Both already have the same options registered.

Do you know any way to do this?

Where does Print2 come from? project-level field from some Apps?
