Hi @Altamash Heroli ,

I've just tested this approach and also tried using {{#increment}} and the value seems to update as expected.
I'm not sure why you're not getting anything to be displayed in the email table.

I'd check if that's possible to get via HTML rather than within automation (as mentioned earlier), but again, I'm not an HTML expert,t so I'm not sure if that's possible.

Hi @Tomislav Tobijas

I tried with all the following combinations

* {{#=}} {{counter|1}}+1{{/}}
* {{#increment}} {{counter|1}}{{/}}
* {{#=}} {{counter.asNumber|1}}+1{{/}}
* {{#increment}} {{counter.asNumber|1}}{{/}}
* {{#increment}} {{counter.value.asNumber|1}}{{/}}
* {{#=}} {{counter.value.asNumber|1}}+1{{/}}

but unfortunately, my output is still the same.

Am I missing something here?

Hi @Altamash Heroli ,

The issue here is that, firstly, you don't have 'initial' value for {{counter}} smart value. I believe {{counter|1}} would set it to one by default although you'll might need to convert that to number type.

BUT, couldn't you construct something like that via HTML by itself? Without needing to use smart values?

There's one article on the topic for DC but you might give it a try on cloud as well: How to send a notification with a numbered list of issues with Automation for Jira

With 
 parameter you might get what you're looking for (but, again, I haven't tested it out).

Cheers,
Tobi
