Pull field value from the first item in a lookupissues object in automation

[yaron]

Hello,
How do I access once of the custom fields from the first item in a lookupissues object that I have in my automation rule?

Thanks

Hi!

Do I understand you want a custom fields from the frist issue returned by the lookupIssues automation action?

If so, lookupIssues is a list, so all actions on a list, you can do here:

{{lookupIssues.first}}

This will give you the first issue in the list. To access the customfields you can continue using the dot-notation, eg:

{{lookupIssues.first.summary}}

You will find more info about SmartValues here:

Hope this helps!

I can think of couple of ways:

- {{lookupIssues.customfield_10XXX.first}}

- {{#lookupIssues}}{{#first}}{{customfield_10XXX}}{{/}}{{/}}

Log both entries to see your output and let us know if issues.
