JMWE: Conditional Validation based on a keyword contained in the Summary?

Rebecca

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up a Shared Action (Transition Issue) in Jira Cloud that should automatically move an issue to the status “Waiting for Approval” - but only if a specific keyword appears anywhere in the Summary (the summary contains additional text).

Example:

If the Summary contains the word “Hello”, the Conditional Validation should allow the transition; otherwise, it should block it.

Something like this: 

{{ issue.fields.summary.contains == "Hello" }}

--> the result should then be true (examle: Hello World / I want so say hello / ...) or false if it is not contained anywhere.

I need help writing the correct Conditional Validation expression.  Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the right syntax in the documentation or other community posts.

Does anyone know what the correct expression would look like using Jira’s conditional validation language?

Thanks in advance :)
