How to use monospaced/code formatting in comment created by automation action?

Brat

Hello

According to linked markup help in Jira automation it's possible to use {{some text}} syntax to display text monospaced ("more formatting" --> "Code" resp. CTRL+SHIFT+M in new rich text editor).

However the double curly brackets are reserved for smart values in automation already.

How to use monospaced formatting within comments generated by automation?

Many thanks

Hey Brat,

I came up with a workaound.

Create two variables:

openingCurlyBrackets with value \{\{
closingCurlyBrackets with value \}\}

Then you can set monospace text this way:

{{openingCurlyBrackets.remove("\\")}}my text in monospace format{{closingCurlyBrackets.remove("\\")}}

Hi Brat!
You should open the smart value with a backslash
For example:

\{\{monospace\}\}

Hey Ignacio

Many thanks for your response. Unfortunately it didn't work in my rule:

This...

...becomes...

Do you see what I'm doing wrong?

thank you, this is so lame...

I went for this variation, create four variables:

codeOpenRaw with value \{\{
codeCloseRaw with value \}\}
codeOpen with value {{codeOpenRaw.remove("\\")}}
codeClose with value {{codeCloseRaw.remove("\\")}}

Then use it as {{codeOpen}}my text in monospace format{{codeClose}}

this is so lame (it really is)

If you need to use this in multiple words it's a little lengthier but this is what I did:

Set project-level entity properties for the four variables above in a one-time rule (pick a random issue and run a manual or scheduled trigger).

Use it as {{project.properties.codeOpen}}my text in monospace format{{project.properties.codeClose}} in any rule you want!

Welcome!
