How to get multiple values out of {{webhookResponse.body}} array?

Connor_lld39i

I'm building an automation that triggers when an Insight object is edited, and if 2 specific attributes were edited it will update an attribute of another Insight object.

I need to use the "Send web request" action to make an API call to Insight to pull the objects history, so I can determine what attributes were changed and the previous and new values. This is where I'm running into my problem.

I can use {{webResponse.body}} to look at the object history, and from this community question I figured out I can get specific values from the body by using {{webResponse.body.get(#)}}. E.g. {{webResponse.body.get(0)}} to get the value of the first index.

But is there a way to grab more than 1 value from the array? I.e. How do I grab just the first 2 indexes, or a range of indexes like the 2nd to 5th?

Hi All, Using the .get(#) syntax, I was able to step into a JSON array an grab sub-elements.

{{webresponse.body.incident.custom_field_entries.get(0).custom_field.name}}

Hopefully this helps someone else as this is a real tricky item!

This is what you need: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/use-smart-values-to-access-listed-values/

My advise is to invest some hours into smart value docs with some practice. This will give you the ability to realise new use cases without coding.

@Connor I'm trying to do the same thing. Have you managed to get this working?

Connor_lld39i

Hi @Romesh no unfortunately I never did figure this out. I had to shift my focus to some higher priority items, and never got back around to this. I didn't delete the automation rule I was working on as I do want to revisit this, just haven't gotten to it yet. If I do ever figure this out I'll try and remember to let you know.

@Romesh @Connor Hope this helps!

You can even nest the gets:

{{webresponse.body.incident.custom_field_entries.get(0).values.get(0).value_option.value}}

Will Sargent

You can also iterate over the list like this:

{{#webresponse.body.incident.custom_field_entries}}{{custom_field.name}} {{/}}

Where custom_field_entries is an array of objects.
