A4J Extract first char from dropdown string

Dave Furlani_gl2jcd

I have a Select List (single choice) drop down called Risk Impact. The values in it are in the format of a "# - text", e.g. 1 - Trivial

I've tried several ways to obtain the number from the string, however I'm having no luck. These smart values I've tried

Risk Impact: {{issue.Risk Impact}}
1 {{issue.Risk Impact.charAt(1)}}
2 {{issue.Risk Impact.abbreviate(1)}}
3 {{issue.Risk Impact.match("\d")}}
4 {{issue.Risk Impact.split(" ").first}}
5 {{issue.Risk Impact.left(1)}}
6 {{issue.Risk Impact.replaceAll("\D")}}
7 {{issue.Risk Impact.substringBefore(" ")}}

Produces the following output

Risk Impact: 5 - Major
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

I'm sure I've had some of them work before, but this week, no luck. Any suggestions?

Hi @Dave Furlani

could you please try the smart value like below:

customfield_12345 - custom field id for the drop down field

Dilip

Hi @Dilip ,

I tried the customfield option, but got the same (empty) results. I also tried triggerIssue

The fact {{issue.Risk Impact}} works suggests the smartvalue is working, but even using the customfield option the operations aren't.

That said, .value.substring(0, 1) seems to have worked when all the other operations failed, so thank you for that suggestion.

I'm now able to get the outputs I wanted with (or the costomfield option)

{{issue.fields.Risk Likelihood.value.substring(0, 1)}} 
{{issue.fields.Risk Impact.value.substring(0, 1)}}

It turns out adding .value would also have helped in some cases. These all return the expected output too:

4 {{issue.Risk Impact.value.split(" ").first}}
5 {{issue.Risk Impact.value.left(1)}}
7 {{issue.Risk Impact.value.substringBefore(" ")}}
