JIRA auatomation help

Question

I was wondering if someone could kindly help me. I am trying to create an automation which loops through any JIRA issue that
has been updated, and looks for specific words, replacing them with hyperlinks.

For example,

I wish to lookup the word Lead and replace with a URL to the lead documentation
I wish to lookup the word Clients and replace with a URL to the client documentation

Ideally I wish for the automation to be simple on a single automation.

The replacement functions work on one field at a time, not an entire issue.  For example, to do this for just the Description field you could use the replace() or replaceAll() function, depending upon if you want to use a regular expression:
