In Smart Value Text Fields, how to replace MULTIPLE strings with one function

Question

Heyyyy,

Imagine a simple automation to Finds & Replace a string in the description of an Issue. When manually triggered, it asks for the old value to find, and the new value to replace it with.

Is there a way to replace multiple different values in a single function (or automation component), or do I need to add a component for each string I want to find/replace?

Something like replaceList()?

Thanks!

Hi @Mee Soo

There is no built-in function to do that.  Instead you could chain the operations, such as:

{{issue.description.replace(userInputs.oldValue1, userInputs.newValue1).replace(userInputs.oldValue2, userInputs.newValue2)}}

Kind regards,
