I can't find "else if" in Jira automation,

[Abdallah Ahmed]

Im trying to create an automation that update the tickets fields based on certain conditions 

Ex, if summary contain the word "UI"  then edit the component field to be set to "UI" Component

Else if summary contain the word "API" do update the component fields to "API components etc" 

 But i dont see the option to do else if ,

Hi @Abdallah Ahmed 

You can't directly add else if conditions, but you can achieve it by using multiple If/Else blocks. Add another If/Else block and in the If part of the new block, add a Condition for "Summary contains" and check if the summary contains the word "API". Add an Action to Edit issue fields, and set the Component field to "API Component".

Hi @Abdallah Ahmed -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Adding to the above answer, please see this documentation to learn how to use the if / else blocks with conditions:

Kind regards,

I can't find Else option at all. As you see in the screenshot. I can only span multiple IF's

I apologize for the misunderstanding. What I meant to say was that I wanted to add multiple "if" statements.

@Bill Sheboy @Tuncay Senturk  I'm in the same situation as the author.  The documentation that Bill linked shows a screenshot of an "IF" branch as well as an "ELSE" branch, but I can't figure out how to get the "ELSE" branch to even show on the designer

If I click "Add component" I can add another "if" condition, but I can't figure out how to branch to "ELSE"

Any tips?

Hi @Luke Wisniewski -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Under the Add a component...

• Select IF: Add a condition
• Under that you will find: IF or ELSE: Add condition options
• Once that is added, you may add the conditions for one or more cases
• At the end of the block, you will find the section for ELSE

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks so much @Bill Sheboy !  For anyone else that's a visual learner like me, here's what Bill is describing.  I had previously chosen the {{smart values}} condition

After choosing the item above, I now see the proper else condition

Thanks again!  Much appreciated!

If you are looking for the ...

- IF ...
   ....

- ELSE-IF <--- adding those conditions
   ....

- ELSE-IF
   ....

- ELSE

I found that you only need to "Duplicate" the first condition and a new "Else-If" will appear!
