Advanced Field Edit - Add multiple labels

[Ryan Markle]

Can we add multiple labels through the advanced field edit?

i'm basically looking to do something like this:

{
        "update": {
                 "labels": [
                  {
                         "add": "Label1", "Label2"
                   }
                 ]
         }

}

It works fine for adding 1 label but I also need to add multiples and can't figure it out.

Hi @Ryan Markle 

You can add multiple labels through advanced fields as follows:

{
    "update": {
        "labels": [
            {
                "add": "Label1"
            },
            {
                "add": "Label2"
            }
        ]
    }
}

Cheers,

Eric

Thanks Eric!  That works.

Any idea how to handle that with an array list?  I have an array of label names I want to add to an issue. Is it possible to iterate over that array and add them?

Did you get answer on that ?  Were you able to do it ?  I have the same issue...

Unfortunately not -  I tried to a while before abandoning this approach and just going straight to the JIRA cloud API.

Searched a little more and found this that does the trick :
