Platform Notice: Cloud Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.
Summary
How to dynamically update multi-select field values between two fields using Automation. Example if values are added in Field B they should get removed from Field A.
Solution
Trigger: When a field value is changed
Action: Edit Issue field (Additional fields)
Option A & Option B - both are multi-select fields in the below smart values.
The idea below is to use the "field operations" mechanism of Jira to first add all the options to the second multi-select field, then remove from the field the ones set in the first multi-select.
