Would like to edit custom field when creating an issue

[Mike Espitia]

Hello I would like get help on editing a custom field as soon as a ticket is created with a condition found on the freshservice ticket?

[Mike Espitia]

Yes I am creating an automation that when I Jira ticket is created and a condition is set then the automation edits the issue by selecting a Ticket Type and Category? But when I select edit issue  under Choose fields I can't find the fields I am looking for.

Hi Mike - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What exactly is your process and what exactly are you wanting to do and when? 

[John Funk]

Are the fields on the edit screen for the project? If you pull up the ticket itself, can you edit those fields manually?

[Mike Espitia]

Hello John, yes the fields where created in the custom field section and they were added to the project. I can open the ticket and edit it manually.

[John Funk]

Which Category field are you trying to use? If it is the one on Jira Work Management projects, that field is not currently available in automation. 

What type of field is the Ticket Type field? 

Is this project a Company-managed or Team-managed project? 

[Mike Espitia]

the projects are under Company-Managed. The Ticket Type is a Selected List ( cascading) type.

Can you share some screenshots?

Thank you for your help John,

I was able to create the JSON scrpt:

{
"update": {
"Ticket Type": [
{
"set": {
"value": "Freshservice",
"child": {
"value": "Service Request"
}
}
}
]
}
}

This works with conitinals. Would like to know if there was a way to use regular expression from the comment to fill the values.

You might can do that by creating a variable and then using the variable in the JSON.
