Groovy Post Function email replace value

Kevin Lynch3
Kevin Lynch March 31, 2013

I trying to produce an groovy email post function where a cfValue is assigned to a string, then remove a portion of the string and then place in the html email. Below is the"Email template" with the "Email format" set to HTML, and the current output.

<html>
<body>
<b>Summary: </b><% out << issue.summary %><br>
<b>Separating user: </b><% out << cfValues['Separating user'] %> = Please ignore the :####<br>
<b>UID of Separated: </b><% out << cfValues['UID of Separated'] %><br>
<b>Reports To: </b><% out << cfValues['Reports To'] %><br>
<b>Manager's UID: </b><% out << cfValues['Manager\'s UID'] %><br>
<b>Work Location: </b><% out << cfValues['Work Location'] %><br>
<b>Other Work Location: </b><% out << cfValues['Other Work Location'] %><br>
<b>Effective Date: </b><% out << cfValues['Date Requested'] %>
</body>
</html>

Summary: Separation of Cubicle Monkey

Separating user: klynch:10000 = Please ignore the :####
UID of Separated: test1234
Reports To: klynch:10000
UID: test4321
Work Location: CA02 (GBR) (611 N Brand Blvd, Glendale, CA 91203)
Other Work Location: NA
Effective Date: 2013-03-29 00:00:00.0

I want the Separating user: and Reports To: output to be (no :10000) at the end

Summary: Separation of Cubicle Monkey

Separating user: klynch
UID of Separated: test1234
Reports To: klynch
UID: test4321
Work Location: CA02 (GBR) (611 N Brand Blvd, Glendale, CA 91203)
Other Work Location: NA
Effective Date: 2013-03-29 00:00:00.0

I've tested string replacement with and the output it correct

<script type="text/javascript">
var str = "klynch:10000";
var n = str.replace(":10000","");
document.write(n);
</script>

output shows klynch without the :10000

I tried adding the following inside the body, but it outputs nothing in return and I'm not seeing anything in the log as to why or any error.

<script type="text/javascript">
var str = cfValues['Separating user'];
document.write(str);
var n = str.replace(":10000","");
document.write(n);
</script>

I'm assuming that the cfValues['Separating user'] does not work inside the script tag. How do I get it so that the cfvalue can be stripped of it's :10000 at the end and then placed in the email correctly.

Thanks

Javascript is not groovy... so not sure what your JS snippets demonstrate.

Is the "Separating user" field a user custom field? If so you can get the username by just appending .name ie cfValues['Sep User'].name. This would be better than doing string manipulation.

Otherwise you could do cfValues[x].split(":").getAt(0)

but you will get an exception if no value is filled.

Np. If you used the former you should probably do:

cfValues['Sep User']?.name

This will just return null if the user field is null, without throwing a null pointer exception.
