Unsure how to replace the pipe symbol to prevent table breakage

Heidi Hendry

Using Edit work item action on a multi-line text field.

The results of my smart value has a pipe | symbol in it. Unfortunately, because I'm putting this smart value into a table (with a lot of other data), it's creating a new cell.

This is what I'm trying in the multi-line text field:

|Field name: |{{issue.parent.customfield_11111.replace("|","-")}}|

Resulting in

Field name:

prefix

suffix

 

but the result that I want is

Field name:

prefix | suffix

or even

 

Field name:

prefix - suffix

How do I replace the pipe symbol?

HI @Heidi Hendry 

This should be doable, you should try to double the pipe.

Like; {{issue.parent.customfield_11111.replace("||","-")}}
