Number to string automation

Petr AST

Dear Community!

I'm trying to convert a number to a string, but my attempts have not yet been successful.

There is an number field, but when you try to send an email or comment with this value, it is converted to a mathematical format - 1.23123123123E11
Is it possible to somehow convert the field to a string?

I tried the following options, but none of them worked.

Number: {{issue.fields.customfield_10000.toNumber().toString()}}
Number2: {{issue.fields.customfield_10000}}
Number3 {{issue.fields.customfield_10000.toString()}}
Number4: {{issue.fields.customfield_10000.tostring}}
Number5: {{issue.fields.customfield_10000.asString}}
Number6: {{issue.fields.customfield_10000.asString()}}

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Petr AST,

You can check out the smart values doc for custom fields here.

Try to use the name of your custom field instead of customfield_10000.

The format should be : {{issue.Custom field name}}

- To test your scenario, I created a number field:

- And then, in the rule, I tried to add this field as a comment using the following rule:

- As a result, it correctly added the number field to the issue's comment like:

I hope this helps.

Hi @Tugba Capaci

Unfortunately it didn't help, the phone number is indicated without a dot and looks like a large number

Hi @Vijay Dadi

Hi @Petr AST

wondering if you ever found a solution to your problem?

I'm facing the same issue, trying to convert a number field into a string and use the string (to find the 1st and 2nd digit in the number).

I've also tried the options you mentioned above and do not get a string, but am able to retrieve the number from the customfield itself and also i'm able to get the digits, if using a text field.

Though, as you, i do need to do the convert from Number to String!

I've (also) tried:

toString
toString()
tostring
tostring()
toNumber().toString()
asString
asString()
asstring
asstring()

What did you do in the end to solve your issue? Creating a Text Field works for me, but is not an option, because the Number Field is already in productive use...

Cheers, Dennis.

Thx to @Tugba Capaci

on the trigger "field change" it was possible to convert the number field value to a String expression, using your provided Link:

{{fieldChange.toString}}

which i was then able to modify using common methods, in my case, extract the first digit:

{{fieldChange.toString.substring(0,1)}}

maybe this helps someone also ;-)

cheers, folks.

Hi Dennis,

Did you find any solution?. I've tried all functions you mentioned but also without success.

Regards.

I used regex match() and wrote it into a variable. Since I have used asNumber.max I had to use another variable to read the previous one (number now by reading a string) and I could interact with it like this:
