Automation to update URL field

[Brian Gauthier]

I'm trying to get a URL field to populate based on the values of another custom field (AzureDevOpsID) 

The code I'm using is 

"https://tfs.prd.xxxxx.com/xxxxxx/xxxxx/_workitems/edit/" + {{issue.fields."AzureDevOpsID"}}

and returns

 (Specify a valid URL for the Custom Field (customfield_10050))

Hello @Brian Gauthier 

If customfield_10050 is the one which should store the URL, you will need to use:

https://tfs.prd.xxxxx.com/xxxxxx/xxxxx/_workitems/edit/{{issue.fields.AzureDevOpsID}}

the fields attribute is optional, you could as well use

https://tfs.prd.xxxxx.com/xxxxxx/xxxxx/_workitems/edit/{{issue.AzureDevOpsID}}

But before you set the field to the URL, first log {{issue.AzureDevOpsID}} value so you know its correct and has no typos etc.

Thank you.   That was similar to my original attempt, but the quotation marks around it was causing the problem.
