Branch rule / related issues by JQL doesn't accept smart values

David Leal_28ge8x

I have used smart values in other JQL-related actions, but for branch rule / related issues I can't:

Am I doing something wrong, or is it a limitation in this case? I haven't read any limitations that restrict using smart values in this context. If so was it reported? Thanks

Hi @David Leal

A couple of things...

There appears to be a typo in the smart value for userInputs in that JQL
Are there multiple values in that input, or just one value? If multiple you may need to parse that into a list to work: CSV with quotation marks around each value.

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks @Bill Sheboy for your help on this. Do you mean I didn't add a space after in and I put user.Inputs instead of userInputs? I tested also the following:

labels in ({{userInputs.remLabels}})

but I am getting the same error. Yes, it is a list of values, but at this point, since it is a user input from a manual trigger rule, the error is not because of that. The input is in CSV format. Good point, I didn't know I needed to put quotation marks around each value. I am getting the error not executing the rule, but publishing the rule.

Note: I was able to convert the input with comma-separated values to add the quotation mark as follows, maybe there is an easier way, but the following works:

{{userInputs.keyList.leftPad(userInputs.keyList.length().plus(1), "\"").replace(",","\",\"").concat("\"")}}

For example, if the input is: a,b,c,d will return: "a","b","c","d". If I store the result in a smart variable. {{csvKeyList}}. Then using the split function the final result is a list, for example: {{csvKeyList.split(",").first}}, I am able to get the first element.

Thanks for any additional help

Hi @David Leal ,

Going from what the error says, you may have missed out on adding a Action/Component after the JQL branch. I tried a similar configuration at my end got the error :

@Jehan Bhathena correct, that was the issue, I was looking for some more complex errors related to the smart values, without looking at the obvious.

Hi, and sorry for the delay in responding. It looks like you got it figured out.

For the CSV part, I was suggesting using an iterator to add the values to build the JQL. Something like this:

labels IN ( {{#userInputs.keyList}}"{{.}}"{{^last}}, {{/}}{{/}} )

That would iterate over the input values, wrapping each one in double-quotes, and adding a comma between each one. The {{^last}} part is to ensure their is not comma at the end.

Thanks, @Bill Sheboy good idea, it would require converting the input string into a list first via split(",") for example.
