I can't seem to figure out how to insert a tab character to separate values in my list of issues that I generate and email in bulk via JIRA Automation using automation smart values.
I can successfully create my email w/ correct list of issues - where issue values are separated by the pipe character "|".
However, I would like to use a tab character to separate the values so that I can more easily / readily import this data into excel.
As an example, I've tried appending a tab character to each smart value using the concat("\t") function:
{{#issues}}
{{key.concat("\t")}}{{resolution.name.concat("\t")}}
{{/}}
But the "\t" is not producing a tab character; instead it gives me a space character.
How do I add/append a TAB character? Is this possible in Jira automation?
In advance, thanks for your help.
Try this:
{{#issues}}
<pre>{{key}}	{{resolution.name}}	</pre>
{{/}}
The <pre> tag defines preformatted text. 	 is a HTML entity for tabulations.

Hi @Jacqueline Arrindell -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!
Have you tried concatenating the code for tab instead, perhaps like this:
concat("\u0009")
Kind regards,
Bill

Yes, I did try that as well. Same... resulted in a space and not a tab character.
Thanks.

Interesting...Where are you storing the result of the concat() operation? I tried it updating the summary field and a tab was inserted.
Updated: I just noticed you are doing this in an email.
