Is there a way to concatenate or nest smart values?

[Michael Spoonauer]

I'm using Automation for Jira to automatically create a comment if the Approving Role for the current sub-task is "name of the role" but the value of the "name of the role" field within the parent of the sub-task does not equal the initiator of the workflow transition.

Instead of having to add if/else statements for every possible value {{issue.parent.name of the role.name}}, where "name of the role" is both the value of the sub-task's "Approving Role" field and the name of the custom field in the parent from which to grab a username for comparison to the initiator name, it would be great if the following were supported:

Condition:

{{initiator.name}}

does not equal

{{issue.parent.{{issue.Approving Role}}.name}}

You can use something like this instead of hard coded dates.

status CHANGED after startOfWeek("+1d") before startOfWeek("+4d") AND assignee=currentUser() ORDER BY created DESC, key DESC, summary DESC

See https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Advanced+Searching#AdvancedSearching-startOfWeek%28%29 for more.

That would be correct, if we only had weekly meetings. I'm not sure how to get the range to cycle between the two.

Basically, if it's past Monday, I would want CHANGED DURING(startOfWeek(), now()), but if its past Thursday, I would want CHANGED DURING (startOfWeek("+3d"), now()).

Create 2 filters. One after Monday before Thursday. Another after Thursday before end of week. Wouldn't that work?

I wanted to put this on our JIRA Dashboard -- that would mean I would have to change it twice a week, which is not much better than just setting the dates manually.

This basically requires a comparison operator, but it doesn't look like JQL allows for conditionals.

Pretty much. What I meant though is to create 2 gadgets and keep both of them in the dashboard without changing. One on the left and another on the right ;)
