Get value from Array List without brackets []

[David]

I'm trying to get a value from the Organizations field in JSD without the brackets.

Using ${issue.get("customfield_10002")*.name.flatten()} will get me the organization name, but puts it in brackets. How do I get rid of those?

Hi David,

Try issue.getAsString("customfield_10002"). This returns a string representation of the value of issue field. Please check the Groovy console provided by the app. It has a help system with Groovy scripts showing how to access issue fields and much more.

That just gives me the id of the organization and not the name.

For instance:

issue.get("customfield_10002")

Returns with this:

[CustomerOrganizationImpl{id=159, name=some company name}]

Where as:

 issue.getAsString("customfield_10002")

Returns with:

159

I'm trying to access the name part of this without brackets.

Oh yeah. issue.get("customfield_10703")*.name.flatten() returns an array of Strings. Use the join operator to get just the name(s).

issue.get("customfield_10703")*.name.flatten().join(",")

This solved it for me. Thank you!

One way is to use substrings; I use the following function in a script to accomplish this.

def stripBrackets(String str){
String retStr = str
if(str == null || str.length() < 2)
{
return str
}
if(retStr.substring(0,1).equals("[")){
retStr = retStr.substring(1)
}
if(retStr.substring(retStr.length()-1).equals("]")){
retStr = retStr.substring(0,retStr.length()-1)
}
return retStr
}

@Payne thanks for getting back to me. I'm not sure how I would use that substrings script. I'm using the JMWE  plugin with groovy code.

${issue.get("customfield_10002")*.name.flatten()}  gets me a value that looks exactly like this with the brackets: [some organization name].

Do you know how I would be able to use the substrings in groovy code so the result of "getting" customfield_10002 is just "some organization name" with no brackets?
