A complex JQL query can be used in Jira automation by creating a custom rule and using the "JQL Condition" option.

Here are the steps to use a complex JQL query in Jira automation:

1. Go to your Jira instance and navigate to the "Automation" section.
2. Click on the "Create rule" button.
3. Give your rule a name and select the project.
4. Select the "JQL Condition" option.
5. Enter your JQL query in the text field. Make sure it is a valid query that returns the issues you want to trigger the automation rule.
6. Click on the "Test" button to verify that the query is correct and returns the expected results.
7. Define the actions that should occur when the JQL query is true. This can include sending an email, updating a status or field, or creating a new issue, among other options.
8. Save your rule and enable it.

Once your JQL rule is enabled, Jira will automatically trigger the actions defined in your rule every time an issue that matches the JQL query is created, updated or transitioned.
