Use Epic assignee as a value in epic description

Hi all.

I would like to use the actual assignee in the description field of an epic like this:

Screenshot 2023-10-23 230122.jpg

 

unfortunately {show.assignee} does not work. ;) Is this somehow possible?

As background of the question: I would like to use this in a template. and then i'd like to print just the field 'description'.

Cheers Stefan

Hi @Stefan Tanner 

Yes this can be done.

In the rule in the description field, add the smart value: {{issue.description}}

This will keep the original description.

Hello, Good day. Please check if you could create an automation rule to edit the Epic issue type with following smart value.

 

{{assignee.displayName}}

Hi @Stefan Tanner 

Did you remove the {{}} brackets, they are required?

now replacing works. thx so far!

...but the whole description field gets replaced. In my second print screen you can see a table below "requested release / R92" this gets also replaced. Is it possible to not replace everything in the field "description"?

Hi @Stefan Tanner 

Yes, that is possible.  Try including both smart values when you edit the issue in the automation rule:

{{issue.assignee.displayName}}

{{issue.description}}

Kind regards,
Bill
