Hello
How can I do the following.

{{issue.description.replace("found text", "replace text with smart value:"+createdIssue.key)}}

Basically I want some text should replace with smart value and plain text as concatenated.

Thanks
Masud

Hi @Masudur Rahman ,

Below worked on my Jira. I hope it works for you too.

{{issue.description.replace("found text", issue.summary).concat("my plain text")}}

Thank you , But can we have the following instead of suffix, I want prefix concat.

{{issue.description.replace("found text", "my plain text".concat(issue.summary))}}

As far as I checked there is no prepend function. But you can have the same behavior with the below snippet..

{{issue.description.replace("found text, issue.summary.left(0).concat("my plain text").concat(issue.summary))}}

Above the prepend behavior is done

  • first by creating an empty string
issue.summary.left(0) ==> returns empty string
  • then concat the prepend text to the empty string
issue.summary.left(0).concat("my plain text")
  •  finally concat the smart value
issue.summary.left(0).concat("my plain text").concat(issue.summary)

I first create a new variable with the value:

my plain text{{issue.summary}}

Then when I set my field, I can use the smart value

{{issue.description.replace("found text",myVariable)}}
