Double Quotes Not Escaped Creating Jira Issue with Confiform

Stuart Wosika_lfwlh0

Hi guys,

 

I have an IFTTT macro to "Create Jira Issue" and the JSON is wrapped in a NOFORMAT macro.  I have custom Jira fields of type "Text Field (multi-line)".  In my form, when a user submits an entry using double quotes " then the form throws an error.  Problem is that I cannot seem to be able to escape this character.  I have tried the following:

 

[entry.IHRisk1.escapeJSON]

 

IHRisk1 is a field of type "TextArea" in Confiform.

 

If I pass double quotes into the system field summary or description, I have no issues, but that is not what I want in terms of behaviour of the form.

 

Surely Confiform should be able to escape characters sent to custom fields in Jira.

 

Regards.

 

Stuart.

 

p.s. I did look at the following link from Alex but this did not work

Hi guys I have solved this, not sure why I did not think of this before !!!!! Solved using virtual function replaceWith.  So:

 

[entry.IHRisk1.replaceWith(",').escapeJSON]
