Automation rules format

For using issue picker field or populating the field in Automation rules the following format is used:

{
   "fields":{
      "customfield_id":{
         "issues":[
            {
               "label":"issueKey",
               "value":"issueKey"
            }
         ]
      }
   }
}

Customfield_id - ID of the custom field that is being used in the rule

label - Insert the issuekey of an issue that should populate the AIL field
value - Insert the issuekey of an issue that should populate the AIL field

Repeat the process for adding multiple issues in the field

{
   "fields":{
      "customfield_id":{
         "issues":[
            {
               "label":"issueKey",
               "value":"issueKey"
            },
            {
               "label":"issueKey",
               "value":"issueKey"
            }
         ]
      }
   }
}
