Canned Reponses - Adding Reporter's Name

[Jonah Gesk]

Hello! Trying to utilize smart value for canned response, tried using the following smart value with no luck. Any suggestions?

{{Issue.Reporter.DisplayName}}

Hi @Jonah Gesk -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Smart values are name, spacing, and case-sensitive.  When an incorrect one is used that returns as a null value.

Please try using this instead for the Reporter's display name attribute:

{{issue.reporter.displayName}}

If that does not help, please post the following to provide more context:

• what version of Jira are you using: Cloud, Server, or Data Center
• for Cloud, what type of project is this: company-managed, team-managed, JPD, etc.
• an image of your complete automation rule in a single image for continuity
• images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches
• an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution
• explain what is not working as expected and why you believe that to be the case

Kind regards,
Bill

Hey @Bill Sheboy !

Thanks for the reply, for this question i'm referring to canned responses not automations. In particular there is a canned response section is when you comment on a ticket in a jira service project.

Thanks for clarifying, Jonah.

I have not used that feature with JSM; according to an example in the documentation, please try this smart value:

{{issueReporter}}
