JIRA Automation: Add a prefix to SUMMARY when a label is entered

unknown

Hey everyone,

question as follows: During refinements we are adjusting our story names for visibility by adding the BE/FE prefix on a story and also using the label.

I wanted to write an automation when a label is introduced then the name gets edited to BE - OLD SUMMARY NAME but i couldn't find a way to do it.

Adding a picture to explain, thank you in advance!

Example

Story Name is CHANGE NAME
Label FRONTEND is added
Story Name(summary) is changed to FE- CHANGE NAME

Hi @[deleted],

so far your rule looks good : the only thing missing is, in the Edit Issue action, you will need to enter the following smart value for Summary :

FE - {{issue.summary}}

This way, the value "FE" will be added before the issue summary. It's as simple as that !

You can have a look at the Smart Value documentation here : https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/smart-values-general/

Let me know if this helps,

Hi @[deleted]

You need to apply smart values which is explained here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/what-are-smart-values/

In your case it would be something like this:

"FE" + {{issue.summay}} + {{ issue.labels}}

You may have to use some of the string functions to make this work.

Good luck

Thank you alexis, i just added it and will let you know how it works out!

@Alexis Robert i just tried the above but it removed the old issue summary and just replaced it with FE - , what can i do that FE is an addition to the existing summary and not just an overwrite?

EDIT: Disregard the above, i had a typo at SUMMARY Works great. thank you!

@Alexis Robert to branch out on this topic. Is there a way to grab a certain part of the field value? For example, if my {{issue.key}} = ITA-123 and I only want to put 123 (minus the ITA-) in my Summary field. Thanks in advance.
