Platform Notice: Cloud Only - This article only applies to Atlassian apps on the cloud platform.
Summary
When using an automation rule to update the Fix Versions field in Jira, the existing default field edit action will only update to one Fix Versions entry. You can't append or add more than one version.
This article will outline how you can add multiple values using the (optional) Additional Fields option.
Solution
Step 1: Go to automation for Jira from Jira settings → System → Global automation
Step 2: Choose the trigger, for example, Version created
Step 3: You can add any condition and branch of your choice, but it is recommended that you check if the Fix Versions is empty or not using a JQL.
Step 4: Add the action Edit work item
Step 5: Expand More Options, add the following block, which will append the values to the existing values, in the Additional fields section
{
"fields": {
"fixVersions": [
{{#issue.fixVersions}}{"id": "{{id}}"},{{/}}{"id": "{{version}}"}
]
}
}Example
The complete rule could look like this:
