How to concatenate multiple custom field values together for summary Groovy/JMWE

Question

Hello,

I am creating a sub-task using the JMWE Create/Clone Issue post-function. I would like to concatenate some custom field values together with string text using a groovy expression.

So for example, I'd like the summary of the sub-task to be something like "Environment:" "environment value from parent/trigger issue" and "Location:" "location value from parent/trigger issue"

I tried issue.get("customfield_12345") and it works on its own, meaning if I just wanted to display the value itself as a summary, I think "issue.get("customfield_12345")" would work.

However, I don't know how to blend string values with custom field values.

Environment: "issue.get("customfield_12345") "and" Location: issue.get("customfield_56789")

I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for your time.  :)

Hi!

Use this in between +" - "+ . that will join the values.

Hello @Durell Demartini

There are answers to that question in this old 2019 post. I don't have access to a DC environment with JMWE to confirm that these suggestions work.
