Filter subtasks in automation

[Ofir Haun]

While constricting an automated email, pertaining to an Epic, i am using the following to list all the sub tasks in the Epic to be part of the email being sent:

  {{#subtasks}}
<a href={{url}}>{{key}}</a> - {{summary}} - {{url}} - {{assignee.displayName}} 
   {{/}}

this is working well, and the email include all of the subtask in a list.

now, what I like to do is to only add sub tasks which has a certain value as part of the sub task description.

have tried things like:

  {{#subtasks}}

  {{#if {{summary}}.contains("text")}}

           <a href={{url}}>{{key}}</a> - {{summary}} - {{url}} - {{assignee.displayName}}

      {{/}}

   {{/}}

but that does not work.

any ideas?

Hi @Ofir Haun -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You could use the indexOf() function to find the position of the text in the Summary.  If it is not found, the value will be -1, and so that may be used for a comparison.  Please adjust the example below for your scenario / specifics:

{{#issue.subtasks}}
  {{#if(summary.indexOf("some text").gt(-1))}}{{key}}{{/}}
{{/}}
