Smart Value in Jira Automation Rule only fetches the first line of Commit Message

Question

I have a Jira Automation Rule that adds comment to an issue whenever a new commit is created in the BitBucket Repository referring the Issue Key. However, the smart value {{commit.message}} is only fetching me the first line of the commit messages, incase of multi-line commit message. Does any body have any way to print the entire commit message using smart values?

I cannot enter defects for this tool, so I submitted this as a suggestion here:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-20928

Please take a look to add additional details and repro steps.  Thanks!

Hey, thank you for the quick response!

I tried your suggestion, but {{commit.message.size}} did not return any value at all, so I am guessing it's not a list.

Thanks again!

Hi @Carter  -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I saw an item in the public suggestions backlog about commit messages with commas being interpreted as a delimiter, and so turned into a list.

You could check if that is happening with the line breaks by logging/adding a comment for {{commit.message.size}} to see it returns a value (or is greater than 1) and so is s list.

If so, you may be able to reform the message with {{commit.message.join("
")}}

Best regards,
