Jira automation: Trigger if a certain label was added (with a twist)

[Robin Powell]

I have a rule that I want to trigger if a certain label was added to an issue. I can do that, but the problem I'm having is that there are several labels that could be added, and 3 of them have letter combinations in common. One is for a larger program "ABCD". That program has 2 subprograms, "ABC" and "CD". Any of those could be labels, and multiple labels can be applied.

An example of a case I'm having trouble with - one rule looks for the addition of the label "CD":

Original label: "ABCD"

Updated label: "ABCD", "CD"

Here's what I'm doing.

In this case, the rule fails to add the comment because it thinks "CD" existed in the original label. Is there a way to access just the part of the label that was added? I've messed around with {{fieldChange.toString}} - {{fieldChange.fromString}} (which doesn't seem to do what I'd hoped) and now I'm heading down the rabbit hole of regular expressions, so I figured I'd ask here and see if anyone has any suggestions. (Am I missing something simple?)

FWIW, we use a Data Center instance, not Cloud. I am unable to change the names of the projects or the labels used. Also, "ABCD", "ABC", and "CD" are not the actual project names.

Hi @Robin Powell ,

The automation is set as label contains any of CD, so it checks for any label with these 2 works like ABCD and CD, both match.

The condition should read as equals CD instead of contains and that should do the trick
