Smart Values, Lists and If statements

Josh.Updyke

Hello all,

I am working on creating an automated email which will link to specific confluence pages based on the selection of options in a custom multi-select field. If option 1 is selected I would like the email to include a link to page 1. If option 2 is selected, then I want to inlcude a link to page 2, and so on.

I have this section of code which runs but doesnt seem to work correctly

{{#issue.customfield_11131}}
IDs: {{id}}
{{#if (id == '13603')}}<a href="https://www.google.com/">Test</a>{{/}}
{{/}}

I get the following results

IDs: 13603

IDs: 13604

It appears that the if statement is not evaluating as true. But I dont know why not.

Thank you.

Josh

I have not worked with the conditional statements before but it looks like perhaps you need to do it this way:

if(equals(id, '13603'))

Hi @Josh.Updyke

Adding to Trudy's answer...

The reasons your condition is not evaluating to "true" are that you are trying to use iteration syntax with the custom field, and the test is on id attribute without any condition, as Trudy described.

Perhaps try this:

{{#if(equals(issue.customfield_11131.id,13603))}}<a href="https://www.google.com">Test</a>{{/}}

Kind regards,
Bill

Thank you for the advice. I tried taking your suggested code and testing it. The email does not include the link. I believe this is because the IF statement is evaluating to false.

however, if I look at the data the rest API

<mydomain>/rest/api/2/issue/SR-3284?expand=names

I can see the following:

"customfield_11131": [{"self": "https://smith-nephew.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/13603","value": "High Speed Surfacing (3 Points)","id": "13603"},{"self": "https://smith-nephew.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/13604","value": "Aspect Ratio > Four (2 Points)","id": "13604"},{"self": "https://smith-nephew.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/13605","value": "Tight Tolerance (2 Points)","id": "13605"}],.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Interestingly I was able to get this section of code working:

<b>Modifiers Impacting Manufacturing Complexity:</b> {{issue.customfield_11131.value}}
{{#issue.customfield_11131}}
{{#if (equals(value,"Aspect Ratio > Four (2 Points)"))}}Test 1{{/}}
{{#if (equals(value,"High Speed Surfacing (3 Points)"))}}Test 2{{/}}
{{#if (equals(value,"Tight Tolerance (2 Points)"))}}Test 3{{/}}
{{/}}

This isnt ideal though becuase if someone changes the value then my email automation will break. I have read that it is better to use the ID because that should never change even if someone changes the wording on the fields.

Thanks in advance
