[Automation] Problems with accessing root data for "webhookData" from list

[pavlova_iryna]

Hi,

I am trying to setup a webhook for Git pipelines and post their status in MTeams chat. My problem happens when I iterate through list of "builds" and try to access parent value.

{{webhookData.project.web_url}} WORKS

{{#webhookData.builds}}
    {{webhookData.project.web_url}} DOES NOT WORK
{{/}}

 Is it a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi @pavlova_iryna 

When you note this "does not work", what are you observing?  What is in the audit log for the rule?

And when you iterate over the values in a list that way, you do not repeat the top-level: just the child attributes.  For example (and I have not tested this as I do not know the response data structure):

{{#webhookData.builds}}
    {{project.web_url}}
{{/}}

You may want to log all of the webhookData to see what the structure actually contains.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy ,

The structure is definitely correct. I additionally verified it with the "Log" action.

Your example references an element in list iteration, which should be with the full name as:

{{webhookData.builds.project.web_url}}

 But I need precisely a property one level upper.

What I was describing was when you use a list iterator with smart values, only the child attributes (smart values) are referenced.  Please see this documentation for examples with issue fields: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-lists/#Combined-function-examples

You note the structure is correct, so if the iterator is not working I suggest working with your site admin to submit a ticket to Atlassian support for assistance.  Your team can do that if you are are on a paid license of Jira: https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/

Ah, I see it now. Thanks a lot for the clarification!
