How to trigger an action in Jira automation with the Didit metadata field

It’s important to note that the Didit metadata field holds values for all metadata within a checklist. See our documentation to understand how the field behaves when the checklist contains multiple metadata values.

  3. Add the “Field value changed” trigger and choose “Didit metadata” for the “Fields to monitor for changes” section.

  4. Add a “smart values condition” which specifies the text in the “Didit metadata” field that you would like to trigger your rule.

    The text (second value) is up to you, but your “First value” and “Condition” should look something like below.

    We suggest you use “contains” for the condition. If you choose “equals” the condition will look for the exact text.
  5. Choose the action that you would like to automate based on the criteria in step 4. In our example we choose to assign the issue to a particular user.

    Now when the training program “Compliance” is chosen, automation will assign the issue to the right user.
