Extract URL from a link in the Description

[Gustavo Moraes]

Good day, guys!

Is there a way to extract the URL inside a link?

E.G.:

Let's say I have, on the issue Description, a text linked to a URL, as below.

It's displayed as "Google" but I need to get the "https://google.com/".

Is there a way to do that to use in Automation?

Thanks!

@Gustavo Moraes  Hi buddy.

@Marc - Devoteam is probably right, but I'm too stubborn.

Can you try this?

{{issue.description.match("(\bhttp\b[^\s]*)")}} 

It returns: 

Can't get it escape the " ] " but that's your problem, not mine :P

Damn, that worked. Some kind of sorcery.

I'll add it to my list of "Jira Tricks"

The only other thing I had to do was split it because I had many URLs through the description.

{{issue.description.match("(\bhttps\b[^\s]*)").split(",").first}}

Thanks a lot for your help!!

You are welcome mate, glad that I learned something new myself.

Hi @Gustavo Moraes 

Looking at the smart value options that can be used in automation, I don't think this is possible.

Via the API, on retrieving the issue, this will be visible.

Good afternoon, @Marc - Devoteam

Somehow @Atlass Monster was able to get it.

Please check his reply.

Thanks for checking, sir!!
