Smart Values in automation

[Aditya Sastry]

Hi,

I've a ask to copy the component value to a custom label field on field change. 

I've used {{issue.components.name}} for the same. However, I've spaces in between the component name and due to which the labels are created separately. I want to replace space with a character to avoid separate labels.

Any pointers?

Thanks in advance

Aditya

@Aditya Sastry 

Can you try using replaceAll(" ", "")?

{{issue.components.name.replaceAll(" ", "")}}

Hi Vishal,

I've already tried it and it doesn't save. Maybe it is not a valid option.

Thanks,

Aditya

Can you share the SS of your complete automation including how you are editing the field?

I was able to get this to work with a global variable and used the variable to update my custom label field.

Hi @Aditya Sastry 

Welcome to the community, while copying the Component values to the Labels list, it's possible to replace the space characters with another character using an "Additional Fields" custom script.

1. Create your Automation Rule and configure the conditions to trigger the rule.
2. Add an Edit issue action.Expand the drop-down list Choose fields to set... and select the Labels field.
   1. Add the script below to the Additional fields text field.
      { "fields":
      { "labels": {{issue.components.name.asJsonStringArray.replace(" ","-")}} }
   2. The Edit Issue action will look like this:
      

Hope this helps

Thanks Pasam for your response. It gave me a parsing error.

Error while parsing additional fields. Not valid JSON.

can you please help?

@Aditya Sastry have you used the same script

{
"fields": {
"labels":

{{issue.components.name.asJsonStringArray.replace(" ","-")}}
}
}
