Add Label Manager items through a workflow transition without overwriting existing labels

Example Use Case

When the status changes to “In Progress” add the Label “label1” in “red” to the Label Manager custom field “DoD”

Trigger: Issue Transitioned → Select From And/Or To Status

If: Check that the label is not yet selected.

Use “Advance compare Condition”

Use the Smart value {{<labelManagerFieldName>.labels}} and check ‘does not contain’ <labelName>

Edit Issue: New Action → Edit Issue

Use ‘More options’

Add the following code into the field. Replace ‘DoD’ with your Label Manager Field Name.

{
	"fields": {
		"DoD": {
                       "labels": [{{#DoD.labels}}"{{.}}",{{/}}"label1"],
                       "colors": [{{#DoD.colors}}"{{.}}",{{/}}"red"],
                       "labelSource": "{{DoD.labelSource}}"
		}
	}
}

Replace ‘label1’ with the name you want the new label to have.

Replace red with the color you want the new label to have.

Color options are: ‘red’, ‘orange’, ‘green’, ‘grey-light’

If you want no color, you still need to add ‘grey-light’ here
