How to iterate a web response using match

Oliver Moore_hxc03d

Hi,

I'm trying to iterate a list of possible custom field options from the Jira API

rest/api/3/field/customfield_10670/context/11056/option and match one of them against a regex to "select" it.

I can iterate the web response using:

{{#webResponse.body.values}}
{{.}}
{{/}}

 

Which gives:

 

{id=15022, value=AIR service, disabled=false}
{id=15024, value=Analytics Service, disabled=false}
{id=15161, value=Auth Service, disabled=false}
{id=15271, value=Comments and Evidences (CE) Service, disabled=false}
{id=15013, value=Content Service, disabled=false}
{id=15027, value=Control Service, disabled=false}

I want to pull the ID for the value matching "Content". I think I can use match like this from this post but I can't get it to work - I just get null

{{#webResponse.body.values}} {{value.match(".*Content.*")}} {{/}}

What am I missing? 

I can't tell if it's the regex or the syntax inside the loop

Hi @Oliver Moore 

Are you trying to only match on the value attribute within the values list?

If so, please try this:

{{webResponse.body.values.value.match("(.*Content.*)")}}

If instead you are trying to get the entire record from values where it matches, please try using list filtering on the value attribute to get the record:

{{#webResponse.body.values}}{{#if(exists(value.match("(.*Content.*)")))}}{{.}}{{/}}{{/}}

 

Kind regards,
Bill
