Filtering Approvers who approved with smart values

[Rudy Holtkamp]

Hi,

I've been struggling for hours and hours, but can't find a way to get the names of approvers who approved an issue.

So we have a group of 10 users who are able to approve a certain issue. Only two approvals are required. When the issue is approved I want to make a comment in a linked issue stating that Person1 and Person2 have approved the linked issue.

So I've tried several ways of filtering the approvers, but none of them work. Note: customfield_10045 is the Approvals field. I would have thought that this should work:

{{#issue.fields.customfield_10045.approvers}}
   {{#if(equals(approverDecision,"approved"))}}
      {{approver.displayName}}
   {{/}}
{{/}}

 But it does not give any output.

When I try this:

{{#issue.fields.customfield_10045.approvers}}{{approverDecision}}{{/}}

The output is:

pending, pending, pending, pending, pending, approved, pending, pending, approved, pending, pending 

 Replacing {{approver.displayName}} with a string, does not output the string two times.

Hopefully somebody can tackle this.

Thanks @John Funk , though it is not the solution, the comments in the other posted got me on the right track. For future reference this is the solution:

{{#issue.fields.Approvals.approvers.get(0)}} 
   {{#if(equals(approverDecision,"approved"))}} 
      {{approver.displayName}}
   {{/}}
{{/}}

Hello!

No way to have Smart values regarding approval work!

I tried:

• {{approval.decision}}
• {{approval.approver.displayName}}
• {{approval.completedDate}}

It does not work.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Best

Hi Rudy,

Take a look at this previous post to see if it can help you. And maybe try {{issue.Approvers.displayName}}
