Use a lookup table within a lookup issues loop

[Matt Caruso]

I'm working on an automation which sends a Slack message with a summary of the results of a Lookup Issues search. 

I'm trying to pull a value from a Lookup table (which converts the issue type name to a Slack icon name) and it doesn't work. It seems to not render the results from the lookup table.

*Completed this week:*
{{#lookupIssues}}
{{icons.get(issueType.name)}} <{{url}}|{{key}}>: {{summary}}
{{/}}

Is it possible to call a lookup table from within a lookup issues loop?

Hi @Matt Caruso -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Short answer: no.  Within an iterator, no other data is visible.

For your scenario, there are a few workarounds, and the simplest one may be to not use the lookup table.  Assuming your lookup only contains those types, you could do this:

*Completed this week:*
{{#lookupIssues}}
:jira-{{issueType.name.toLowerCase()}}: <{{url}}|{{key}}>: {{summary}}
{{/}}

Kind regards,

Brilliant! That worked perfectly.
