Ternary operator (or if/else) with smart values

Chad Waldman

I'm looking to create a smartvalue that would say:

If (field.match(".+Multiple.+")) Then 20 Else 2

I could do:
{{#if(issue.field.match(".+Multiple.+"))}}20{{/}}

however I don't know how to do the fallback value. 

Is this possible with a smart value?

FWIW, I already know I can do this in Automation with an If/Else.

Hi @Chad Waldman ,

Ternary expressions aren't supported in Smart Values at the moment.

To achieve what you're looking for there are a couple of options:

1. Set the value to the "fallback" and then use the 'if' to override it
2. Use a second 'if' with a `not()` function to set the fallback for the negative case

 

Hope that helps,

James
