Jira to Slack Automation - affectedVersion

[Andrew Harrison]

Hi

I’ve set up a Defect Notification channel in Slack that receives an automated notification from JIRA with all the key info we need when a new bug is raised for a specified project using the following message –

** New Bug Raised **

<https://xxxxxxx.atlassian.net/browse/{{issue.key}}|{{issue.key}}>

{{issue.summary}}

Severity - {{issue.customfield_11163}}

Priority - {{issue.priority}}

Raised by - {{reporter.displayName}}

Scrum Team - {{issue.customfield_11164}}

Detected in Phase - {{issue.customfield_11160}}

Affects Versions - {{issue.affectedVersion}}

Labels - {{issue.labels}}

All the info is included in the slack notification as expected with the exception of affectedVersion which is always blank, do you have any idea what’s causing this or if there’s another field I should be using to include the required info?

I’ve also tried using issue.version but it pulled through 10604 rather than Test 1 as expected.

Anything you can suggest would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Andrew, welcome to the Community!

What you've got looks great, with just one minor tweak needed to get the value you want. Adding .name should get you the actual version instead of the version's internal id:

Affects Versions - {{issue.version.name}}

Great use of Automation and smart values!

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi  @Daniel Eads 

Would it instead be {{issue.versions}} because Affects Versions is potentially a list of values?

I saw that smart value noted on the Smart Values, General documentation page:

Thanks!
