- Right now only component names can be accessed with Jira Automations. A sample Use Case would be to create sub-tasks for every component added to an issue and assigning their component lead to those. Accessing to the component lead could be possible like this: {
{issue.fields.component.lead.displayName}
. Right now this is not possible without an API call which is taking way longer and is much more complicated and much more prone to error.
- Include project components create/edit actions as a trigger - Support to configure rule triggers based on project component create/edit actions so automation rules can be used to configure action upon that activity.

[AUTO-485] Automation support for working with components and component leads - new triggers, actions and smart values
For anyone still trying to do this, there's a workaround; If your project defaults to unassigned, and you have only one component per issue, if you set the "Default Assignee" property to "Component lead (LEAD_USER)", Jira will automatically assign that issue to the Component Lead.
Is there any way of knowing if we can hope for this to happen soon? It's much needed!
We also desperately need this. Our product is split into a number of components and I want to notify component leads when certain things occur. For this obviously an email address is needed. We only use single value components so a smart value like issue.component[0].lead.emailAddress is what is required.
A customer brought this up today - their use case is to notify the Component Lead on issue create via email. Also, when the Component changes, the new Component lead should also get notified. They are not finding a way to use Smart Values for Component Leads, so this feature would be helpful.
I'm their current TAM - I'm going to have them try the workarounds that were discussed in this Community Article: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Is-it-possible-to-use-components-lead-in-Automation-for-Jira/qaq-p/1640467 and see if any of these would work in the interim.
I need this as we are actively using components, but lack the feature to enable them for automation
