How to implement the conditional value set like equals(({{X}},"string"), "String A", "String B"))

[Inna S]

Hi, 

I need to set a field to a value based on the value in a different issue field.

If

      Issue A field "FA" value is "word A" -> issue B field "FB" set to "Yes",

else

      issue B field "FB" set to "No".

I'm looking to do this inside the multiple conditions statement.

Thank you

I found the answer in the list of functions:

IF(condition,value_if_true,value_if_false)

Returns one value if the condition evaluates to true or the other if it evaluates to false.

Hi @Inna S 

For a question like this, please consider posting images of the complete rule and audit log details showing the execution.  Those will provide context for the community to offer suggestions.  Thanks!

Without knowing the structure of your rule...how you solve this depends on the relationship between the issues:

• If these are two unrelated issues, you would need a rule triggered on a change to issue-A so you can latter branch t o issue-B for the edit
• If these are linked, this would be the same as unrelated issues
• If these are parent/child issues, you may be able to reference the parent from the child using smart values, and so edit without branching

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy , 

there is nothing to post here really.

I have an issue of one type, linked to an issue of other type.

When there is a change to the first issue, the second needs to be changed accordingly.

I know how to access field values in the trigger issue and how to set the field in the target issue.

The question is how to express this logical rule:

if

    the field of interest in one issue is equal a specific value,

then

    field in the target issue has to be set to value 'X', 

else  

    field in the target issue has to be set to value 'Y'.

This is a standard programming construct, I'm looking for this function in Jira automation and can't find it.
