How to reference each value of Multi-select custom field with smart values?

[N Y]

Hello,

I have a multi-select custom field built into one of my issue types, with 6 possible options.
When I access the field by {{issue.customfield_10062.value}} and output the value to the Audit Log,  Jira returns all activated options of the multi-select field separated by a comma.
Is it possible to reference each value of the multi-select custom field by its own?

I tried

{{issue.customfield_10062.value[1]}} and

{{issue.customfield_10062.value.1}} and 

{{issue.customfield_10062.1.value}}

with no sucess.

Hi @N Y 

You'd need to do something like this:

{{issue.customfield_10062.value.get(n)}}

This will return the selected values.  For example, I have

Option1
Option2
Option3
Option4
Option5

User selects 1 and 3

{{issue.customfield_10062.value.get(0)}} will return Option1

{{issue.customfield_10062.value.get(1)}} will return Option3

Hi @N Y 

Adding to Mark's answer...

With the smart values in the rule, you may access the values which are selected only; not all possible values.  Which of these did you mean?

Kind regards,
Bill

@Mark Segallthnx, it worked!
Anyways, is there a documentation available that lists functionalitites like this somewhere?
@Bill Sheboyyes, i wish to access the selected values only.

Here's my go to for everything about smart values:

Thank you so much!

Yes, and...one key source on that documentation page is this one:

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/find-the-smart-value-for-a-field/

This how-to article describes finding if a field is supported as a smart value, and what the correct smart value is.  Smart values are name, spacing, and case-sensitive...so often rule problems come from using the wrong name (which leads to a null value, and no error messages).

You guys are awesome! Thanks once again

Hello @Bill Sheboy / @Mark Segall 

First of all, thanks for your time and great work on answering our questions.

I have a quick issue... I wish to obtain the selected values of a "checkbox" field type...

Is it possible?

Hi @Jesus Octavio Gutierrez Villegas 

First thing: this is a very old thread, and so I recommend creating a new question rather than adding new ones onto it.  That will help more people see it to offer suggestions.  Thanks!

Regarding checkbox fields, that depends upon what you mean by "checkbox field":

• If it is the built-in type, the value attribute may be used the same as an option field
• If it is a field from a marketplace addon, please check the vendor's documentation to learn how to access the values

Kind regards,
Bill
