Using Split to extract subsctring

Question

Hi everyone I have a string (Jira Summary) that might look like this - - OR - I basically want to get the value of the ID after the last '-'. If I use split() function, how can I reference the last occurrence/item in the returned list? Thanks in advance Lisa

As you solved this one yourself, I recommend adding another answer to the question and then accepting it.  That will help others with a similar need find solutions faster.

Thank you, I managed to get this working using  {{issue.summary.split("-").Last().trim()}}

Hi @Lisa Mendonsa

Have you tried using the substringAfterLast() function?
