Hi @Margaret Medon

Could you give us more details regarding your automation?

It worked well for me...

Just to verify: You are certain "[PDI-1234] -" is part of the summary field value? Looks to me like that combination of issue.key and summary.

Margaret Medon

Thank you for responding, this is the complete rule in my sandbox.

I am pretty confident my issue is the Edit Issue step because when I replaced the JSON with:

{ "fields": { "summary": "woohoo! a new summary" } }

it worked.?

Margaret Medon

Yes! the PDI # is an external number captured by an integration.

Thanks for the follow-up.

Hey, why don't you select the field "Summary" instead of using the advanced function? As you are using a smart value

@Margaret Medon

in additional fields it needs to look like this (worked for me):
{
"fields": {
"summary": "{{issue.summary.replace("PDI","ER")}}"
}
}

But I agree with @Bastien Delourmel _FMX_ . Much easier his way.
