Get the body of a comment after the first line

[AldoCauchiSavona]

I need to capture the body of a comment, but not the first line.

Is the a smart value way o do this please?
In Javascript, I would get the position of the line break and get the substring after that character positions.

I tried this and an alteration without the inner smart value {{}}, but not luck. Any help on how I could do this please:

{triggerIssue.comments.last.body.substring({{triggerIssue.comments.last.body.indexOf("\n")}})}}

Hello @AldoCauchiSavona ,

It depends on the Storage format of the comment and how the end of the line is represented.

You can get the body of a comment as HTML (VIEW, STORAGE, ...) and try to get the end of line tag/tags and then parse by it.

Thanks @Andrii Maliuta The comment body is being retreive via a smart value {{issue.comments.last.body}}, I currently use {{issue.comments.last.body.substringBefore("\n")}} to get the contents of the first line. 

I can remove or rplace that line with an empty space, but need to know how to use a smart value as a parameter.

{{triggerIssue.comments.last.body.substring(triggerIssue.comments.last.body.indexOf("\n"))}} and neither {{triggerIssue.comments.last.body.substring({{triggerIssue.comments.last.body.indexOf("\n")}})}} doesn't work.

Hi @Andrii Maliuta the smart values I replied with do not work.

Not sure what part of it I'm doing wrong.

Maybe somebody can spot the problem with how I'm writing the smart value please?

@AldoCauchiSavona  , not sure about smart values in this case, sorry :( I ususally work with VM or thymeleaf / HTML JS templates and do the approach described before.

@Andrii Maliuta would you have a link so I can reaserch and find out more about the HTML JS templates approach which you use?
