How to run a script in jira automation?

I need to run a script to perform some changes on the values of a custom fields by splitting the value based on a specific string. How do I run such script in jira automation?

Thanks

Hi @Jamshaid --

So Jira Automation doesn't support running scripts (Bash, Python), but it might be able to do what you want using built-in functionality.

If this is a one-time thing you need to run, you could use a Manual Trigger. 

And then to update a custom field value, you would use the Edit Issue action.

Within the text field Smart Value functions, there is a split, which might help you accomplish what you are trying to do.

If you need more assistance, please provide the specifics, and we can help.

@Darryl Lee thanks for responding. I need to split this value

52-CT83 that is in custom field PROJ to 56 and CT83 and set 56 to a custom field. How do I do this using automation?

Thanks

Glad to see you got it working! Sorry I misunderstood what you meant by "running a script". I'd appreciate if you could accept my answer below, since it did lead you to the split() command that you were looking for.
