Automation: Send Slack Message does not recognize smart values.

[Robby Ho]

In the workflow below, I can receive plain  text messages in slack, but when I attempt to use a smart variable (which the documentation indicates is supported), The field is empty in the message.   Perhaps I need to ensure the issue creation succeeds before sending the slack message?   Thanks for any help!

On the same note as @AJ DaNelz: I'm trying to switch over from using ClearCase and ClearQuest to JIRA, STASH (and optionally BAMBOO). Currently we can tag our new versions/releases in ClearCase (~STASH) from ClearQuest (~JIRA) when releasing a version. This kind of integration seems to be missing from Atlassian suite. Trying also to use git-flow model for code development, does not make things easier with Stash. In my testing I have to do a lot of manual things when releasing a version with Jira+Stash: Create a version in Jira, release it, follow git-flow model of release start ... release finish using the same version names (or doing it via Stash as an alternative). This feels cumbersome and error prone. Has someone found some best practises for easying this kind of integration?
