Pull First Name Last Name from Last Name, First Name

[Mathew Lederman]

Can somebody help me with the automation smart value to create 2 variables for a user with a DisplayName of "Jones, Bob" where variable 1 is Bob's first name, and variable 2 is Bob's last name, "Jones"

Here's what I have so far 

{{issue.assignee.displayName.split(",").second}} - this returns no results

{{issue.assignee.displayName.split(",").first}} - this returns Jones

Hey @Mathew Lederman - it seems to work like this - {{issue.assignee.displayName.split(" ").last}} || {{issue.assignee.displayName.split(" ").first}}

Please try and let me know.

Thanks,

[Bharat Kalia]

you can store that in each variable.

Ahhh, perfect thank you! I was racking my brain trying to figure out '2' or 'second' or two'... Never thought of 'last'.

Hi @Mathew Lederman 

FYI -- here is the documentation for smart value lists, including information about selecting relative (e.g., first and last functions) and specific items (e.g., with get() and getFromEnd() functions)

Kind regards,
