Update Description field on Transition with a smart value

FR Jira Dev

I am looking to update the description of an issue on a transition with a post function.

The goal is to replace a certain piece of the url with the {{issue.summary.charAt(2)}} from the original ticket summary.

Example: Insert this into the description with the post function the value of the field set to: www.website.com/{{issue.summary.charAt(5)}}/issue

The outcome I would expect from a Issue Summary: Test 3 would be www.website.com/3/issue

but the description is updated and does not convert the smart value. sting www.website.com/{{issue.summary.charAt(5)}}/issue

Any ideas on how to make this execute and fill in the correct number from the summary or other workaround

Hi John, I actually got it to return correctly with a less than ideal workaround using {{issue.summary.substringBetween("e","s")}} but it makes it so we cannot have spaces in the summary. What I really want is characters at 5,6 but only if they are numerical values of 1-9, ignore spaces.

The issue is when here is a single digit example 5 vs 12 it would return correctly. Is there a way to do this? Right now it is causing an error with a single digit because it returns a digit for char 5 but char 6 is a letter when a single digit.
