Jelly: How to deal with a required stock field with a space int he name?

[Neeraj Kumar]

Jelly script: How to handle a required stock field with a space int he name? E.g. "Affects Versions".

Is there a way to refer to such fields by any other identifier? e.g. a number. If yes, then how to get a corresponding number for such a field?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist- · Accepted solution]

The system fields have their own identifiers - description, summary, affects, fixed, and so on. I can't rememeber if the word you need here really is "affects" though - my memory is also muttering "affectedVersion"

The field appears as 'affects version'. It is a stock field not a custom field.

There are multiple such fields with space in their names.

If there is such a field can it be referenced by any other identifier?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Er, that's the answer I gave - the system fields have their own identifiers.

You might be confused by my choice of words - I tend to use the word "system" instead of "stock", because system fields are all built into Jira, as opposed to custom fields. Some custom fields "stock" because they're created by default in a new installation

There wording for affects version in jelly is simple "versions",

My apologies, I've just found the bookmark I use and the word you need is simply "versions". See https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/latest/constant-values.html#com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.FieldManager.CUSTOM_FIELD_PREFIX
