Jira Automation using smart values and text fields - count mentions of a word?

Michael Couillard
April 27, 2023

We have a field for "testing notes". Inside that field we sometimes list bugs with a static prefix for each. I'd like an automation to count the number of "bug" mentions and save that to another ticket field. This will power reporting to count bugs per ticket, which we can then summarize by project or dev.

There are a good number of text functions today, but none can find/match/count multiple key words inside a single text field: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-text-fields/

Is there an alternative?

You can do multiple levels of AND (All) and OR (Any) on conditions. Hover over a condition you have already added and click on the icon for Add grouped condition. Looks like a fork

A one paragraph reference to this at https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/advanced-workflow-configuration-776636620.html

Experiment safely somewhere!
