Jira automation pretty print a json string?

[Zak Jacobson]

I have an automation that makes a web request and write the response as a comment. In case of errors, the response body is JSON and I'd like to pretty-print it.  I first tried surrounding in triple quotes, but it's just one long line.

Hi @Zak Jacobson -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Does your response already have line breaks?  If so, you could try using the code snippet / markup for text fields:

{code:json}
your JSON expression here
{code}

Kind regards,

Thanks Bill! I don't think there are line breaks... but I can change that!
