Smart value: "Get comment before NewLine"

[Mario Coluzzi]

I need to retrieve ONLY the first line of a last comment (before the NewLine)

I did use as per SmartValue recommendation the following:

- {{issue.comments.last.body.substringBefore('\n')}}

But it returns empty data as per Log errors in the picture.

I have also tried to use "data between values", some issue

- {{issue.comments.last.body.extract('START_READ(.*?)STOP_READ', 1)}}

Any idea?

I sorted it . . . those single quotes vs double quotes 

It should read

- {{issue.comments.last.body.substringBefore("\n")}}

Hi @Mario Coluzzi 

You could try splitting on the newline, converting into a list, and grabbing the first returned value:

{{issue.comments.last.body.split("\n").first}}

Kind regards,

Yeah, I realized the issue were the quotes
