Jira Automation: Adding Rows to STAGIL Table field
Jira Automation supports adding rows to a STAGIL table via the “Edit issue fields” action. This allows you to automatically populate a table based on conditions — such as issue creation, component values, or transitions.
Automation setup
1. Create a new rule
Select a trigger and condition (if required)
Action: Edit issue fields
2. Select the table custom field
Choose your STAGIL table field from the “Fields to edit” section. It will appear as something like: customfield_10347.
3. Paste the correct JSON
In the JSON editor, paste the stringified table structure, using the correct syntax:
✅ Correct format:
{
"fields": {
"customfield_10347": "'{ \"values\": [{ 'field-119': \"Get quote\", 'field-120': 11, 'field-140': true }, { 'field-119': \"Get funding\", 'field-140': false }] }'"
}
}
Key rules:
Element | Requirement |
|---|---|
Outer value | Must be a string, wrapped in double quotes |
Inner field names/values | Use single quotes |
Entire value | Must be a single-line string |
Limitation
This method replaces all existing table data.
Each time the automation runs, any previously stored rows in the table will be overwritten with the new values defined in the rule.
