Smart value with regex to change assignee

[Davide Santonocito]

Good day!

I am desperately trying to automate this flow:

Using this smart value:

{{#issue.comments}} {{body.match("((\w+\.\w+)(?=].*merge request))")}}{{/}}

Sadly, the value is produced with spaces (found out by using "add comment to issue" component)


but I was not able to trim it.

Using:

{{#issue.comments}} {{body.match("((\w+\.\w+)(?=].*merge request))").trim()}}{{/}}

does not solve the issue. I assume I should trim after the loop but I could not find any accepted syntax.

There is naturally also the possibility that the spaces are not the problem and instead I should be changing the assignee of the issue in another way/using a key instead?.

I tried using edit issue field and a custom payload but could not manage either.
Furthermore, I obtain this value by reading the comment left by gitlab integration, hence why I only get the name.surname, that coincidentally is always the same as the name of the jira user.
