Link same component with Automation for Jira addon - Smart value array and JQL

[Viktor]

Hello.

I am trying to link issues that have the same components.

How do I get list of components that can be used by JQL?

This is throwing errors:

component = {{issue.components.name.asJsonStringArray}}

Error:

SD-768: "((component = ["ABC"]) AND (key != SD-768)) AND (project in (10001))" - Error in JQL Query: Expecting either a value, list or function but got '['. You must surround '[' in quotation marks to use it as a value. (line 1, character 15)

This seems to do the trick, first component is enough for me:

component = {{issue.components.first.name.asJsonString}}
