How to get the actual Automation Event with Scriptrunner or are there Smart Values?

[Markus W_ BENES]

I want ot make a single Multiple issue events Automation and differ within of it between the different events. For example i want to make a Multiple issue events Automation with the events "Issue Commented" and "Issue Comment edited", so that the automation starts in both cases. Within the Automation i want to be able to say; when the actual event is "Issue Commented" to do that; or else when the "Issue Comment is edited" so do that.

How can i differ between the events or find out which event is actually running in Scriptrunner or are there Smart Values to differ by them?

@Marc - Devoteam thanks for your answer; the solution with smart values for my needs i already posted before; what i want is to get the actual running event in scriptrunner during automation.

Found a first answer for smart values version; value for it is: {{eventType}}

within automation set:

• if block
• Advanced Compare Condition
• First value = {{eventType}}
• Equals:
• Second Value = one of the following
  • jira:issue_updated:issue_commented
  • jira:issue_updated:issue_comment_edited

hope this is of help for someone; but also like do be able to do it in scriptrunner :)
