Linking issues that are mentioned in an issues comments

Sarah Fajerberg_ytgaie

Hey Community, 

I'm trying to create an automation that will link issues mentioned in another issues comments. 

This is the automation that I've been trying. But it is trowing an error. Anyone who can tell me what's wrong? Or help me analyse what is going wrong in the automation?

Hi @Sarah Fajerberg

here's the syntax for your matching: `{{comment.body.match(".*?([A-Z]+-\d+).*?")}}`

Since the match method may return multiple values, I would suggest using it with "Advanced Branching". Adding up on that, match may return groups which are not actual keys. You can confirm that you only link to values that represent a value, by checking if there is an issue present with that key. 

See the full setup below. 

 

Feel free to ask for clarification or help if anything is unclear.
