Extracting specific info from a comment

[Robin Stemmers]

Hello All

Hoping you can help.

I am getting feedback in the comments section let me know what the email address is.

EG. the comment will contain a phrase like below:

-Author Name date time

Email Address: Name.Surname@domain.com

I want to be able to extract the email address and update a custom field with that address only.

How can I do that?

Hello Gents

Found A way - use it don't use it :)

It does what I need :)

Create Variable 

Variable Name: emailExtract

Smart Value: {{issue.comment.last.body.substringAfterLast("o:")}}

Field to update:

My field name  = JML Email Address = update the respective field with the Variable and some smart stuff :)

{{emailExtract.substringBeforeLast("]")}}

There are a few posts I have seen on this topic. Here is one I have referenced previously.

Hi @Robin Stemmers ,

One Jira issue may have multiple comments, so I assume you would like to store the email address of the user who last added a comment to the issue, in a custom field possibly named Email.

I copy here the smart value so that you can copy it easily:

{{issue.comments.last.author.emailAddress}}

Hope it helps.

I thought she was asking to extract an email from the text in a comment, but may be mistaken.

No - its not the author email address
