Extract characters from Summary and place them into a specific field

[Renata Izzo]

Hi,

I would like to create the following automation in my project:

If jira summary contains ISSUE=123456, I would like to extract 123456 and automatically place this value in another field.

I have tried the issue.description.match but I am not getting any results.

Can you please help?

Thank you,

Renata

@Renata Izzo  Which automation app are you using?

Hi @Renata Izzo

You can use jira automation and use the smart value text functions to copy the extracted string to the new custom field. Link: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/smart-values-text-fields/

Hi @Fabian Lim 

I am quite new to jira. I have some experience with external fields, but very limited experience with automation.

I have to extract a number from a text field and store it in another field.
The "smart-values" approach looks promising, but can you give me an idea WHERE to enter the functions ??
