How to combine smart values to edit specific text in the description and add it to the summary

Joann Brown

Hi,

I have been trying everything,,, and reading all kinds of posts, but none seem to meet what I am trying to do.  I need to capture a specific line in the description and add it to the Summary.  Your help would be GREATLY appreciated as I am down a rabbit hole and going nowhere.

I am trying to change the summary to this:  

Bug - User Name - Every time I try to pull up SPECIFC report from App3 it just spins

I tried using: the first part works - it is the second part that isn't working

This part works:
{{issue.summary.replace("Application Support Request: App3 Bug","Bug")}} -

This part doesn't work:

{{issue.description.substringBetween("Details: ","Requested For:")}}
      This resulted in:   Bug - User Name - 

I also tried varioations of everything I could find... and none got the results I was hoping to achieve:

• {{issue.description.replace(issue.description.substringBetween("Details: /n","Requested For:"))}}
• {{issue.description.substringBetween("Details: \n","\n")}}
• {{issue.description.substringBeforeLast("\n Requested For:")}}
• and many others that didn't work...
  
  

Here is the info in my description, it is autofilled from another application like this:

Description field:

Requested By: User Name
Issue Type: Appp 3.0 Bug

Details:
Every time I try to pull up SPECIFC report from App3 it just spins

Requested For: User Name
Division: BlahdiDah
Department: MultiStuff
Title: Analyst
Phone #: 2225551212
Extension: 51212
Email: user.name@company.com

What I am trying to do is EITHER:

1. Add a "1. " BEFORE the string"Every time I try to pull up SPECIFC report from App3 it just spins" like below

Description field:

Requested By: User Name
Issue Type: Appp 3.0 Bug

Details:
1. Every time I try to pull up SPECIFC report from App3 it just spins

Requested For: User Name
Division: BlahdiDah
Department: MultiStuff
Title: Analyst
Phone #: 2225551212
Extension: 51212
Email: user.name@company.com

 

Or COMBINE the text "Details:" and the string "Every time I try to pull up SPECIFC report from App3 it just spins"

 

Description

Details: Every time I try to pull up SPECIFC report from App3 it just spins

Hi @Joann Brown ,

You are on the right path, I would suggest you try out this : https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-text-fields/#match--

Using Match you can use regex to filter out the exact string that you need.

Regex for reference : https://stackoverflow.com/a/23756210

Hope this helps.
