Is there a way to update the Advanced section of Automations with an API

[Christopher Gordon]

We use Jira Automations to set a FixedVersion automatically. We have many Jira automation rules that need to be updated with the same string representing the fixedVersion for the current sprint.  

We would like to automate changing out the fixed version, which is represented as a string in an Automation.  How can we automate updating this string in many rules? SomeProject v23Q2-6 

{
  "update":{
    "fixVersions": [
      {
        "add": {
        "name":"SomeProject v23Q2-6" 
        } 
      }
   ] 
  }
}

 How can we accomplish this? Can we define a custom smart value maybe?  

{
  "update":{
    "fixVersions": [
      {
        "add": {
          "name":{issue.customField_CurrentFixedVersion}   
        }  
      }
    ] 
  }
}

And a bulk Update on that field at the start of the sprint?  Any thoughts or critiques?

We accomplish our goal to be able to have control over a variable that is used when running an automation.

• Create hidden field in Jira CustomCurrentFixedVersion
• use smart value of {{issues.CustomCurrentFixedVersion}} in automations
• Bulk Update Jiras to set the CustomCurrentFiexedVersion when we move sprints
• Add Jira Automation for setting the CustomCurrentFIxedVersion (this is still a string and manual to change)
