Use smart values to cut '{' from text

Clemens Rätze

I would like to use smart values to cut text between '{' and '}' from a description.

To start simple I tried this:

{{issue.description.replaceAll("{","")}}

But it is not working. It works with other text than {. Is there a notation to use { in smart values?

Hi @Clemens Rätze ,

I did not try it myself, but I think you need to escape the {, by using \{.

{{issue.description.replaceAll("\{","")}}

Hi @Clemens Rätze

You might need to address the { as "\{\", this ass it is a special char.

Is the second \ needed? Seems like you are escaping the "

I know, that I have to use the same for trying to replace \\ with nothing.

"\\\\"

That's it, thanks.

In case anyone is wondering, that's my final value:

{{issue.description.replaceAll("(?<=\{)([^ ]*)(?=\})","").replaceAll("\{}","")}}

Using this I can cut all formating stuff like {color:#172b4d} that would otherwise end up in an email containing the issue description using Jira automation.
