How would I get just the number of {{issue.key}}?

[Angel Ferreira]

Hi

Is it possible get just the number from key with smart values? 

Thanks

Hi @Angel Ferreira

You can try using the text functions to get the characters after the "-". Link: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-text-fields/

I suggest you copy the key to a new variable and then try finding the location of "-" and then using a substring from the location +1 to the end.

Good luck

Thats works I used: 

{{issue.key.substringAfterLast("-")}}

Thanks

Interesting question. You can’t do that though.

I'm intrigued about why!  What use is only part of the key of an issue?  I can't think of a use for it (well, a few migration contexts, but only to compare with existing data, which isn't something I'd use Automation for)

Hello @Angel Ferreira 

Have you tried issue.number?

As far as I know, issue.getNumber() method returns the issue number as a long value.
