Dynamic variables from Jira fields
You can define a dynamic variable using a Jira field key. A variable defined this way has the same options as the field on the issue crate screen of the target project.
You can optionally name a variable, otherwise it’s going to have the same name as the name of the Jira field.
You can find all the keys here - https://{yourjira}.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/field.
Examples
Components=[:components]
Fix versions=[:fixVersions]
Priority=[:priority]
Checkboxes=[:customfield_11602]
Labels=[:labels]
Assignee=[:assignee]
Due date=[:duedate]
Date Picker=[:customfield_11692]
Date Time Picker=[:customfield_11620]
Description:[:description]
Text Field (multi-line)=[My custom name:customfield_11606]
Supported types
Most common fields are supported, including system and custom fields.
If a field type is a supported dynamic variable type, it’s displayed using a dedicated component, for example, the Due date field (:duedate) has the same type as the :date variable, so it’s displayed as a Date Picker.
Otherwise, it’ll be displayed as a simple text field.
Exceptions:
The labels field is displayed as a text field. You can pass values separated by comas to create new labels.
How to pass values selected in variables to Jira fields
Use Smart defaults. Use a variable accessor with the name of a variable, or the name of the field if it’s not given.
| Variable defined as | Use |
|---|---|
| [Release versions:fixVersions] | variable("Release versions") |
| [:duedate] | variable("Due date") |
