Chaining Smart values expression

Gautam Poddar

I've Field 'A' of single select drop down with values -

One

Two

Three

Four

I'm trying to write automation logic which will update another number field 'B' to a number corresponding to value of field 'A'. However seems I'm missing something to make it work correctly, none of the following expression syntax working for me -

{{issue.A.replace("Four",4).replace("Three",3).replace("Two",2).replace("One",1).asNumber}}

{{issue.A.replace("Four","4").replace("Three","3").replace("Two","2").replace("One","1").asNumber}}

Appreciate any help with this.

Hi @Gautam Poddar -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

When you note "...none of the following expression syntax working for me...", what are you observing happening? What do you see in the audit log?

Have you tried to split this expression up incrementally and write to the audit log to see what is happening? For example:

{{issue.A}}
{{issue.A.replace("Four",4)}}
{{issue.A.replace("Four",4).replace("Three",3)}}
...

Best regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy ,

Thanks for responding.

Yes, I looked into the audit log but it just shows blank/null value at the placeholder.

I tried splitting up the expression too as you've indicated for troubleshooting but not much luck with that either.

{{issue.A}} returns the selected value e.g. Four however {{issue.A.replace("Four",4)}} returns nothing while the audit log shows success.

Thanks,

Gautam

Thanks, and that may mean some typing-issues are happening.

Please try: {{issue.A.value.replace("Four","4")}}

Thanks @Bill Sheboy

That definitely did the trick! now it's working fine. Also I noticed {{issue.A.value.replace("Four","4")}} works but {{issue.A.value.replace("Four",4)}} doesn't.

Just to summarize for benefit of others in future, the correct expression here would be {{issue.A.value.replace("Four","4").replace("Three","3").replace("Two","2").replace("One","1")}}
