Hi @prasad Biddika 

JSON is a file format. You cannot add conditional logic in it. You have to manage these conditions in your automation.

Hope it helps.

The above rule we created when issue is resolved in CE_SVT_DMS jira will clone in  5G CCDU Project its done

Our requirement is when any component is selected in CE_SVT_DMS the reporter field should set to any of the person for the cloned issue in 5G CCDU

Please suggest how can we achieve it

Thanks,

Prasad

Have you tried either using conditional logic to see the reporter when the issue is cloned, or to add an edit of the clone later to set the field (based on your conditions)?

Hi @prasad Biddika 

What have you tried thus far to solve this?  If you have a rule started, please post images of the complete rule and the audit log details.

A great deal of writing automation rules is about experimentation.  You try something based on your needs, the examples and documentation, and inspect/adapt toward the solution.

For your scenario, I recommend looking first at the advanced edit with JSON documentation to confirm the syntax, based on your field types: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/advanced-field-editing-using-json/

And then review the conditional logic documentation to see which parts of the JSON to make dynamic: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-conditional-logic/

Finally, if things are still not working as you expect, try writing your JSON expression to the audit log to determine if your conditional logic works as you expect.

Kind regards,
Bill
