Automation - How to print changelog for Smart values like "components" from triggered issues?

Jarosław Solecki [Deviniti]

Hi, 
I am trying to set notification about changes on related issues. 

I succeed to get the previous and current value for Summary and Description and few other fields but I can't do the same with Fix Version and Components.  

Here are the values I am trying to use. 

{{#changelog.fixVersions}} Fix Version has changed from "{{fromString}}" to"{{toString}}"{{/changelog.fixVersions}}

{{#changelog.component}} Components was removed "{{fromString}}" Component was added "{{toString}}" {{/changelog.component}}

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Does anybody have the same problem?

Thanks for the help!

Hi @Jarosław Solecki [Deviniti] 

Did you notice that the fields not working for you, Components and Fix Version, are both list fields?  I did some rule testing and what I saw was:

• Components sometimes worked
• Fix Version never worked, even when using fixVersion.name to go inside the item
• And Labels always worked

There seems to be a defect (or undocumented behavior :^) for changelog and list field processing.  Until someone from Atlassian who worked on this (former CodeBarrel folks) comments, I suggest submitting a defect through your JIRA instance admin:
