Jira automate description rule line break

[Christopher Lia]

Hi guys,

I have created an automation rule in Jira that will automate my description templates. So far everything is working well, I can stylize the code as needed. However, I have run into an issue.

I want to try to add a line break using Jira's automation techniques. So far, I am only successful using Jira's rest API on Python with \n.

Is there any way to do it in the Automation settings of Jira?

Hi @Christopher Lia and welcome to the community,

the characters \\ will result in a line break.

Hi @Stefan Salzl ,

I've also tried that, but still couldn't get it to insert a blank line.

Hi @Christopher Lia ,

Could you please add a screenshot of your automation rule? That may help analyzing the problem.

Here is the rule, whenever [RNG] is in the summary, it will trigger the description. However, it doesn't automate the line breaks.

Here is the result of this rule.

Hi @Christopher Lia 

Could you try to add at the end of the line? (Tested this and that worked in my system)

I'm still facing the same issues, even after copying your adjustments. When I create new tickets, it's the same as before, no line breaks :(

😵😵 that looks really weird.

Unfortunately I´m running out of ideas :(
