Jira smart values

[Naresh G]

HI All,

We have to send only a certain length of data from the description field to a slack channel by using jira automation .Is it possible with jira smart values ?

Actually {{issue.description}}  returns entire data of description field. We dont want all data. We have to send only a certain length of data. Is it possible? Please help me?Thanks

Hi @Naresh Gantala 

You might try: {{issue.description.abbreviate(20)}}

Where 20 is the number of characters you want to limit the value to.
