Edit Created Variable

Question

Hi!

I'm trying to edit the information that I set on a variable, for example:

I'm creating the variable {{person}} with the smart value from {{issue.reporter.emailAddress}}, and I need to remove the @company.com from the variable, so I'll get only the name.lastname from the whole email address. Is this possible?

It worked, Bill! Thank you very much.

Hi @Gabriel Freddi de Matos Santos

You could do that with the substringBefore() function when you create the variable:

For example with this:

@{{issue.reporter.emailAddress.substringBefore("@)}}

And just to be clear, a rule cannot edit a Created Variable: however, you may re-create it with the same name to replace the value.

Kind regards,
Bill
