string (like a summyry) and field-value in one comment

[Josef Sigl]

i want to add automatically an comment on an transition in workflow.

This comment should be composed of a text (string) as a summary and the value of an other text field as description. Both in one comment!

How do I do that?

JIRA Version: 8.5.1

thanks for help

Hi @Josef Sigl ,

you can indeed use a Comment Issue post-function. All you need to do is, in the comment body, generate the desired "wiki markup" to get the desired comment body. For example:

I say: (n) *NOT OK*
{panel}
${issue.getAsString("some field")}
{panel}

kind regards

Hi Josef,

Do you have any add-ons? I know you can do that with Automation For Jira - and probably ScriptRunner as well.

Isn't it possible to do this with the workflow post function "Comment issue (JMWE app)"?

For examble look at this screen

in the comment should view the header (Text) and in the panel the value of another textfield. All in one action

It probably can - I just don't know the syntax for that. The folks with JMWE should be able to help you though.
