I need to run a script to perform some changes on the values of a custom fields by splitting the value based on a specific string. How do I run such script in jira automation?

Thanks

Hi @Jamshaid --

So Jira Automation doesn't support running scripts (Bash, Python), but it might be able to do what you want using built-in functionality.

If this is a one-time thing you need to run, you could use a Manual Trigger. 

And then to update a custom field value, you would use the Edit Issue action.

Within the text field Smart Value functions, there is a split, which might help you accomplish what you are trying to do.

If you need more assistance, please provide the specifics, and we can help.

@Darryl Lee thanks for responding. I need to split this value

52-CT83 that is in custom field PROJ to 56 and CT83 and set 56 to a custom field. How do I do this using automation?

Thanks

1. I want to trigger an automations script(Bash/python) from jira.

2. It should trigger an job in bamboo.

3. The job in bamboo expects arguments that has to be passed from jira to bamboo job.

4. once the job is successful, it should auto resolve the jira, 
     If it fails it should update the jira with the error message.

Ohey @Ramchandh , so when I wrote this:

I totally forgot about Web Requests! Also, I've only investigated Automation for Jira Cloud.

For #1, I still don't think it's possible to do that unless you're running Flask or some other kind of server that is listening for web requests.

And so... for #2, a Bamboo job can be triggered by Jira Automation. Here's a HOWTO from Atlassian:

• Triggering a Bamboo build from Jira Automation 

Re #3, hrm, it looks like the only arguments you can pass are a PLAN-KEY and whether to skip branches or not.

As for #4, if your Bamboo is linked to your Jira then yes, it seems like you ought to be able to use the Build successful or Build failed triggers to accomplish what you want.

Thanks to the hint by @Darryl Lee , I have got it working with the following flow

Glad to see you got it working! Sorry I misunderstood what you meant by "running a script". I'd appreciate if you could accept my answer below, since it did lead you to the split() command that you were looking for.
