i'm building an automated release notes process and i'm struggling to access the content of a specific section on the jira version page.
to be very clear: i am not referring to the standard, plain-text 'description' field of a version. i am referring to the rich text section on the release page which has an editable title that defaults to "give this section a name".
our desired workflow is:
when a user requests a new version (e.g., via a manually triggered automation), our first rule runs. it uses an ai agent (rovo) to draft the release notes and populates them into this specific "give this section a name" section.
the project manager then edits and finalizes the notes directly within that section.
when the version is released, our second automation needs to trigger and read the final, edited content from that exact same section to use for other tasks.
my core problem is that i cannot figure out how to target this specific section within a jira automation rule. since it's not the standard description field and its title is user-editable, i don't know what smart value or method to use.
is there a way to access the content of these customizable release page sections? for instance, does jira assign them a static id that can be referenced in an automation rule?
our goal is to use this specific rich text section as the single source of truth for our release notes. any guidance on how to identify and get its content would be a huge help.
thanks.
