Copy entire form to text field via automation

Lennart Roeser

Hello,

i am looking for a way to convert an entire form into a text field.

Lets say i have a form with multiple fields and question. Essentially, i want to move the entire form (labels, questions & answers) to a text field, lets say the description field of my issue.

I know i can access the form itself via smart values:

{{issue.properties."proforma.forms.i1"}} 

However, copying this over to a text fields gives me raw JSON.

Thanks!

Hi @Lennart Roeser

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I am afraid you will need ScriptRunner to parse the JSON and format it into a readable text format. The script would:

• Extract each element from the JSON.
• Format these elements into a human-readable string (with labels, questions, and answers).
• Insert this string into the description field.

Please remember to accept this answer in case it helps you resolve your question as it may also help other community members in the future.
