Automation rule matching on text with bold

[Rui Araujo]

I have added a Jira automation that tries to match on a comment with a text block that include bold text.

The value is something like:

header: value

I can't seem to get it to match when value is bold. What should the value of the comparison be for this case?

I have tried <b>value</b> and **value**.

Hi @Rui Araujo -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

When checking the text-markdown of the comment, please look for text surrounded by single asterisks:

Here is a comment with some *bold text* in the sentence.

If you are looking instead at the Atlassian Document Format (ADF), please look here to learn more for the "strong" type: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/apis/document/structure/
