IFTTT and velocity

[Augustus Corso]

I don't have a lot of control of my confluence configuration and i am not a web developer by trade. so forgive me if i am butchering the definitions.

Im trying to use a confiform to create a JIRA issues

i wanted to use velocity code to help "build an array of labels to add to an issue

But i have had zero luck with using velocity variables in my enviroment.

{ "fields":{
 "project":{"key":"somekey"}, 
"issuetype":{"name":"Software Design"}, 
"priority":{"name":"Medium"}, 
"components":[{"name":"[entry.ClassSelector.escapeJSON]"}], 
"description":"[entry.issueDetails.escapeJSON]", 

#if ("[entry.valueSeverity.escapeJSON]" != "") 
"customfield_11853":{"value":"[entry.valueSeverity.escapeJSON]"}, 
#end 

#if([entry.IsShipCheckReq] == true) 
#set( $labelStr = "ShipCheckReq," ) 
#end 
#if([entry.IsDiscrep] == true) 
#set( $labelStr = "$labelStr discrep," ) 
#end 
#if([entry.IsSafetyCritical] == true) 
#set( $labelStr = "$labelStr Safety," ) 
#end 
#if([entry.isFleetsupport] == true) 
#set( $labelStr = "$labelStr FleetSupport," ) 
#end 
#if([entry.isTask] == true) 
#set( $labelStr = "$labelStr Task," ) 
#end 
#set( $labelStr = "$labelStr""formGenerated""" ) 

"labels":["$labelStr"], 
"summary":"[entry.issueName.escapeJSON]" } 
}

Hi

Please see this page on how you actually mix the Velocity with ConfiForms Field value references https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions+and+rules#ConfiguringConfiFormsIFTTTactionsandrules-CreateJiraIssue

Especially how to check if the value is given or not.

thanks for the response.

I think if i knew what i was doing that page would be helpful, but i don't so it wasn't.

i wound up solving this by redoing the page as replacing check boxes with a multi select label box.

I guess i have another question?

Is it possible to build a string like i was attempting and pass it in as an array of labels?

Consider the following template (I have 3 fields of type checkbox and I am checking their "RAW" value, as described in our docs)

And the template itself

#set ($labelStr = "") 

#if(${check1})   
  #set ($labelStr = $labelStr + "Check1, ") 
#end 

#if(${check2})   
  #set ($labelStr = $labelStr + "Check2,") 
#end 

#if(${check3})   
  #set ($labelStr = $labelStr + "Check3,") 
#end 

{ "fields": { "project": { "key": "somekey" }, "issuetype": { "name": "Software Design" }, "priority": { "name": "Medium" }, "components": [ { "name": "[entry.ClassSelector.escapeJSON]" } ], "description": "[entry.issueDetails.escapeJSON]", "labels": [ "$labelStr" ], "summary": "[entry.issueName.escapeJSON]" }

thank you for the template!
