Auto-set Directories field value

If you need to automatically set the Directories Select field value, you can use Automation for Jira with an Edit Issue action.

The Directories custom fields are not available in the default list of fields to set, you should refer to the "Additional fields" section using the custom field id/name and the required Directories object id.

Directories Select (single) setting

CODE

{
    "fields": {
        "customfield_10979": {
        "id": "853"
        }
    }
}

Directories Select (multiple) setting

CODE

{
    "fields": {
        "customfield_11016": [
            {"id": "853"},
            {"id": "854"}
        ]
    }
}
