Can Jira Automation replace/edit part of the summary field

I need to change the country code in the summary filed from ABC to BCD for 30 tickets. I was trying to use Jira automation - maybe there is another option, can someone help?

Hi @Radek Dering

Yes, you could do that using JQL to select the issues for changing and then using the replace() function to alter the text. For example:

Trigger: manual trigger
Branch: JQL to find your issues
- Action: edit the summary field to replace your text: {{issue.summary.replace("ABC", "BCD")}}

Please look at this documentation for more information:

Hi @[deleted] ,

What if the text in the summary is different from a issue to another issue? For one issue it might be ABC for the other DEF?

Please check my question - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Update-story-points-to-the-issue-summary-using-automation/qaq-p/1683810

Thanks

Hi @Samuel Prathipaty

I answered your question in the thread you noted, using: substringBefore()

Best regards,
