Can I use custome field Team (Advanced Roadmaps) with Automation for Jira?
Asked by Olga Kolov:

Hello all,

I want to create a task if the field Team (Advanced Roadmaps) will be changed to my team. How can I do it? I know, that with JQL one can use the field for board filter. But in Automation rules I can't find the field in the list of of fields to observe for the action.

Can anybody help me?

Thank you very much!

Go to the more options section of the **Edit issue** action. Then set it up as per the screenshot below. *In this example I use Team 6.*

*You just need to know the ID of your team. Procurable via JQL using*

```
 "Team[Team]" = 
```

*not just*

```
Team =
```

*that way, you can type your teams name and JQL will change it to the ID for you.*

But I want to configure the trigger if this field bekomes the Team = 6 then do it... And in this case, I don't have possibility to enter the additional fields...

Or I don't see something important? ;) Sorry, I have changed the layout to english, but the Automation App is staying german.

Kind regards, Olga

Perhaps doing via a scheduled rule using JQL is the best bet. Not real-time/ideal, but a means to an end??

Disclaimer: I do not have advanced roadmaps...

You can determine if there is a smart value available for a field using the method described in the article below. Basically, you find an example issue, use a browser to call the REST API, and then search for your field. Here's the how-to: <https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/find-the-smart-value-for-a-field/>

If you find a field, and it is not listed in the issue field changed trigger, you could try the generic Issue Updated trigger, and then check the [change log for updates](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/smart-values-general/#Smartvaluesgeneral---changelog--) using a condition test.

Best regards,  
Bill
