Copy certain text from summary into a custom field

harsh.bhardwaj

Hi,

I need help in copying a certain text from summary of an issue to a custom field in JIRA Cloud.

For Eg:

Summary : "Report of Oct 2020 :: Company ABC"

I wanted to store "Company ABC" in a certain custom field.

I am using : "Email this issue" plugin and Automation plugin.

Hi @harsh.bhardwaj ,

you can achieve this with Automation for Jira using Smart Values :

Create a new rule
Select "Issue Created" as a trigger
Set a new action to "Edit Issue"
Select the field you need to copy your text to, and use this value : {{issue.summary.replaceAll(".*::","")}}

Have a look at the screenshot of my rule, I just tested it and it works fine :

Let me know if this helps,

Hi, @Alexis Robert

I hope you're well! This is incredibly helpful! Is there a way for me to select a segment of the summary to parse into a custom field, as opposed to including the entire summary?

Looking to for something like this:

Account Lockout: UserID: aedana, UPN dan.anas@techmd.solutions

I need to extract the trailing text after UPN, to be parsed into customfield User Principal Name.

Your advice is immensely appreciated!

{{issue.summary.replaceAll(".*UPN ","")}}

The solution is showing you how to include all characters after the string. The star at the front means it doesn't matter what's in front, it just cares about what's after the start (for you, UPN)

Welcome!
