Embed a URL to custom field (Paragraph) not working

[Mahesh Kumar CD]

Hello,

Using automation rule, I am embedding a URL to custom field type Paragraph. The URL is giving a partial link.

Here is sample URL
https://xxxx.yyyyy.com/db/btnn6swg7/form?a=API_GenResultsTable&query={29.EX.{{issue.customfield_10117}}}&apptoken=xxxxx

The above URL when clicked should open the URL using the value in the custom field. However having an open and close flower brackets "{" is not allowing the complete URL link.

Please suggest to embed the link, so that it can URL in a different browser.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Mahesh Kumar CD and welcome to the community!

Let me play what I'm reading back.  You are trying to wrap the value of a custom field into a static URL.  The static URL has curly braces in it which is impacting the ability to capture this?

Here's an approach you could take where you use a variable to capture the URL with double pipes as a placeholder then replace those with the desired field value.

• ACTION: Create Variable
  • varURL

  • https://xxxx.yyyyy.com/db/btnn6swg7/form?a=API_GenResultsTable&query={29.EX.||}&apptoken=xxxxx

• ACTION: Edit Issue

  • {{varURL.replace("||",issue.customfield_10117)}}

[Click-here|https://xxxx.yyyyy.com/db/btnn6swg7/form?a=API_GenResultsTable&query={29.EX.||}&apptoken=xxxxx]

Please advice.
