How to retrieve pull request approvers as a jira smart value?

[Joromy.Khalil]

Hi, I have added a trigger which adds a comment onto the associated jira ticket when a pull request is merged. However, I'd like to detail more information (the pull request approvers and author) but am limited by the smart values for pull requests. 

I noticed https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-1997 has been raised. Will this change include said values and when should we expect this feature to be implemented.

Thank you for your help.

Hi @Joromy.Khalil -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

IMHO, there's no predicting what that work may include, or when it will be done.  You may want to vote for/watch the items linked to that one to see progress:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-21666
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-20422

Until then, you could investigate if your tools provide a REST API method that has that information, and then you could use a web request call from the Jira automation rule to get at it.

Kind regards,
Bill
