Summary

• Currently, Automation For Jira does not support fields which are coming from Advanced Roadmap, such as the Team, Target Start, Target End, Parent Link fields. Because of that, it is not possible to easily add a condition in a rule that will check the content of these fields, because they are not listed in the Issue Field Condition component:
  
• This limitation is tracked in the feature request linked below:
  
  • JIRAAUTOSERVER-159 - Getting issue details... STATUS
• The purpose of this article is to explain how to add a condition in an automation rule based on the content of the Advanced Roadmap team field.

Environment

• Jira Server / Data Center 8.0.0 and any higher version
• Automation for Jira 7.4.0 and any higher version

Solution

Let's assume that you are trying to write an automation rule that will check if the Team field of a Jira issue contains a specific Team name (for example "Team 1") before executing some action.

Step 1 - Get the Custom Field ID of the Team field

Each Jira installation will have its own set of custom field IDs. Therefore, this step is required, since the Team field ID might differ across Jira installation.

To get this ID:

• Go to the page ⚙ > Issues > Custom Fields
• Look for the Team field, then click on ... > View next to the field
• Get the ID found in the URL (in the example below, the ID is 10204):
  

Step 2 - Add the condition component to the automation rule

Instead of using the Issue Field Condition component, add the Advanced Compare condition component to the automation rule with the parameters below:

• First value: copy the expression below, after replacing XXXXX with the Teams Custom Field ID obtained in the 1st step

  {{triggerIssue.customfield_XXXXX.name}}

• Condition: equals
• Second value: add the name of the team

The condition component should look like in the screenshot below, assuming that the Team field ID is 10204 and that the Team name is "Team 1":
