Do Jira Expressions support JavaScript string methods?

[Martin Kay]

Do Jira Expressions used in workflow conditions support the full set of JavaScript string methods?

Specifically, I'm trying to use:
      issue.customfield_xxxxx.startsWith("some text") 

If this is not supported, is there an alternative way to do this?

Thanks,

Hi David,

I would recommend starting with just Skills only and then you can add Stages later once you're comfortable with Skills. But you definitely can have team members with multiple skills!

Stages and Jira Workflow steps are not related.

Stages would work like this:

• Stage 1 is development
• Stage 2 is testing

That way the development stage is fully completed and not mixed up in estimation before the testing starts.

I hope that helps! Let us know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Shannon
