Automation using the Team field

You can create new rules using the Team custom field to automate your work around Jira projects.

If you encounter an error with the Team field when using automation, check the Audit Log to see what went wrong.

In some cases, the error may be related to using an open site.

Use a post function to update the Team field

When using the Team field with advanced issue workflows, you must use the Team UUID value instead of the team name. 

To add a post function which updates the Team field:

1. Select Update Issue Custom Field from the Add Post Function screen.

2. Select Add.

3. From the Issue Custom Field dropdown, select Team.

4. For Custom Field Value, you must enter the Team UUID.

To get the Team UUID:

1. Go to the team profile page.

2. Copy the value of the Team UUID from the URL. For example: https://yoursite.atlassian.net/people/team/[TeamUUID]

3. Paste the Team UUID to Custom Field Value.
