Convert object to string in Automation for Jira

[Sam Huawey]

Is there a chance I can convert an object to a string using smart value functions?

{{customfield_10102}} gives me this:


ServiceDeskApprovalsBean{id='14000', name='Manager Approval', finalDecision='approved', canAnswerApproval=false, approvers=[ApprovalDecision{approverDecision='approved', approver=UserBean{ ...


When I try 

{{customField_10102.asJsonString}}

it gives me empty string.

I need to parse the object and extract approvers for later actions.

Hm, after try and test I got it. ServiceDeskApprovalsBean is an object and I can access it by using keys of the object. In fact I have a list of two beans there and this code works pretty well for me

{{customfield_10102.first.name}}: {{customfield_10102.first.finalDecision}}\n\n{{customfield_10102.last.name}}: {{customfield_10102.last.finalDecision}}

So the receipt is:

1. Log custom field value and save output to say notepad
2. Ignore object name, check what is after first {
3. Use keys to extract data.

I know I can make a REST API call to the issue and extract data from there, but maybe there is a function that can convert object to text? I assume asJsonString does not work because object is not a JSON.
