Is there a way using JWT to do an operation over every element in a list?

Hi Atlassian Community!

The scenario I have is a multiselect custom field that I want to copy to a label type customfield (Not the issue label)

The issue I'm having is I can't copy the values one to one, I need to append the keyword "skill#" before each value returned by the multiselect, and replace all spaces with "_".

one thing that kinda worked was: "skill#" + findReplaceAll(%{issue.cf19904}, " ", "_")

That works great if I'm selecting one item, however for multiple I get:

skill#This_Is_The_First_Item,_This_Is_The_Second_Item

I'm wondering if there's a "for each" in the return of a multiselect. I understand a multiselect returns a string, not a list, but if I try toStringList(%{issue.cf19904},","), I get a generic error in JWT:



I was able to achieve what I need using scriptrunner, but I'd really prefer to do it in JWT instead if possible.

For those curious, this is my script in scriptrunner:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.label.Label
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.label.LabelManager

CustomField skillsList = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject("customfield_19904")
def skillsListValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(skillsList)

CustomField skillsLabel = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject("customfield_15300")

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def labelManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(LabelManager)
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def skillFieldID = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_15300").getIdAsLong()

def joinedList = skillsListValue.collect { "skill#$it" }

joinedList = joinedList.collect {it.toString().replaceAll(" ", "_")}

for (skill in joinedList){
    labelManager.addLabel(currentUser, issue.getId(), skillFieldID, skill, false)
}

Thank you all in advance

Hi Pierre Ibrahim!

I'm Nacho, support member of Decadis AG.

When using the "Advanced text" parsing mode, the result returned has to be a text, so you would have to use the parser function toString() to transform the result to a text.

If I understood correctly, it could be separated in the following way, by using toStringList() and findReplaceAll() in order to operate with each element o the list (seed):

toString(textOnStringList(toStringList(%{issue.cf19904}), "#skill" + findReplaceAll(%{seed.text}, " ", "_")))

Is this the result that you are looking for?

If not, I invite you to create a ticket in our support portal so we can have a more convenient and fluid communication!

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
