Smart Value for the user who made the change?

[Ray Nixon]

When using Jira Automation, I can create a rule that triggers on the label being changed, and then add conditions using {{fieldValue.toString}} and {{fieldValue.fromString}} to see if a particular label was added.

The automation then sends a MS Teams notification. 

However, I can't figure out how I can add to that notification which user made the change to the label. Is there a way I can do this?

Hi @Ray Nixon 

Have you tried this smart value:  

{{initiator.displayName}}

Best regards,

I had the same concern and your recommendation addressed it.  Thank you.

Where is this information published?  Is there an index of all possible smart values in one place along with their methods/properties?

Hi @Jason Epel  -- Welcome to the Atlassian community!

I have found several sources to find this info:

• This list of values from Atlassian:  https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/smart-values-general/
• This one on list values management: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/smart-values-lists/
• This how-to for using the REST API to pull an issue and then find the smart values: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/find-the-smart-value-for-a-field/
• Ask the community here  :^)
• Internet searches...  This one sometimes takes you to dead ends, as the original documentation from Code Barrel is still discoverable, but it has been deprecated since Atlassian acquired them in 2019...so it takes you back to the generic documentation

Best regards,

Bill

Thanks. That's it. Would be great if Atlassian had listed all the values available in their documentation.
