I want to use Jira Automations to create a more descriptive Issue Summary

Jill Donnelly

I have setup a JIRA automation to create a series of issues when a new Fix Version is created. These are deployment tasks that occur regardless of the release. I'm trying to add to the automation, so after all the issues are created, I can update the Issue Summary to include the Fix Version set in each issues. Can anyone help?

Sure, you could update Issue Summary to include a Fix Version, although it's a bit tricky because Jira allows multiple Fix Versions per issue.

Let's assume that you'll keep it simple to begin with and somehow limit people to just one Fix Version. Then you can choose the "first" one, using {{issue.fixVersions.name.first}}

If you want to allow for multiple versions, you can do things like:

{{issue.summary}} - Versions: {{#issue.fixVersions}}{{name}}{{^last}}, {{/}}{{/}}

Which would result in:

Original Summary - Versions: 5.1, 4.2, 3.0
