Summary

Automate Team Field Assignment in Jira Service Management Cloud Using JSON and Asset Objects.

Solution

Create an automation rule and add the "Edit work item" action.

Due to a limitation in using the Team field to be edited by this action, the workaround is to use the More options > Additional fields and add the below JSON:

{ "fields": { "Team": "{{issue.customfield_XXXX.<referenceAttribute>.<attributeName>}}" } }
