IFTTT Macro - JIRA Parent Priority

[MCL]

I am trying to obtain the parent priority of JIRA ticket through a confiforms IFTTT so I can set the current priority to dynamically change based on inputs received and the parent priority. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am currently unable to ID the parentPriority and not quite sure how to conduct the comparisons of text data. 

My goal for $finalPriority:

if impact > parentPriority: 
    finalPriority = priority of impact map 
else if parentPriority > currentPriority: 
    finalPriority = parentPriority 
else 
    finalPriority = currentPriority

Impact to Priority mapping: 

"Critical": "Blocker - P0", 
"High": "Critical - P1", 
"Medium": "Major - P2", 
"Low": "Minor - P3", 
"Informational": "Low - P4"

Prep JSON: 

#set($description = {"Description of the Issue:": "[entry.description.escapeJSON]","Impact Assessment:": "[entry.impact.value]","Data Sources:": "[entry.dataSources.escapeJSON]","Solution/Criteria:": "[entry.proposedSolution.escapeJSON]","Risks and Mitigation:": "[entry.risks.escapeJSON]","CASE#:": "[entry.case2.escapeJSON]"})
#set($panel = {"title":"Request", "BGColor": "#E1F5FE", "BorderColor": "#4FC3F7", "TitleBGColor": "#29B6F6", "type": "[entry.requestType.id]"})
#set($meta = {"labels": ["label1", "label3"], "summary": "[entry.summary.escapeJSON]"})

#if("[entry.requestType.value]" == "requesttype2")
  #set($meta = {"labels": ["label1", "label2"], "summary": "[entry.summary.escapeJSON]"})
  #set($panel = {"title": "New Detection", "BGColor": "#FFCDD2", "BorderColor": "#E53935", "TitleBGColor": "#C62828","type": "[entry.requestType.id]"})
  #set($description = {"Description of the Issue:": "[entry.description.escapeJSON]","Impact Assessment:": "[entry.impact.value]","Data Sources:": "[entry.dataSources.escapeJSON]","Solution/Criteria:": "[entry.Criteria.escapeJSON]","Risks and Mitigation:": "[entry.risks.escapeJSON]","CASE#:": "[entry.case.escapeJSON]"})
#end

{
 "project": { "key": "MY-KEY" },

Hi @MCL 

Do you have a field in ConfiForms of Jira type that holds a parent issue?

Alex

In my fields, I have a dropdown that contains a list of keys that the user selects from, I dont have a JIRA type. 

Is there by chance a way to dynamically create one after selecting from the dropdown?

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

I probably misunderstand this completely - but what do you select in a dropdown? 

And how do you know what priority has one or the other "parent" Jira issue?

Alex

[MCL]

For the dropdown it looks similar to below. It contains the limited keys I want the user to select from to ensure things are nested appropriately when the JIRA ticket is created. 

My goal is to ensure the entry ID field is used to assign as the parent key for JIRA. 

I also wanted to dynamically set the priority of the JIRA being created based off of the parents priority and impact level. 

ID                   LABEL
Key-12345    Label for key
Key-23456    New Label 
Key-45678    Interesting thing

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

Honestly, I am still confused

so, you have a dropdown with some predefined text values that represent the issue key in Jira

And you want to lookup the priority of the issue that corresponds to this key and then use it in the logic described above, right?

Alex

[MCL]

Correct, My goal overall is below in steps. 

1. Choose between type of request 

- bug or subtask 

2. Choose the parent it belongs to 

- a list of about 10 strings associated to the JIRA keys 

3. Assign priority based on parent and impact 

4. Other description/labeling setup 

5. write to JIRA as a new issue either bug or subtask, assigned to the appropriate parent issue

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

OK, but the question is how to get a priority from an issue that you only have a issue key as text, right?

Here is a small screencast that shows you how to access issue priority

I have a dropdown of issues, then selecting one I am assigning it's value to a hidden Jira field. Through this field I can then access any property this Jira issue has, including priority

This aided in solving it, thank you very much for your help.
