Working with Text/String
Smart Fields support a number of text manipulation functions. This works with any
'text' type field such as summary, description, and text custom fields. You can also use text manipulation functions on issue sub-attributes, such as the {{issue.reporter.displayName}}
.
For example, if you'd like to send out a Slack message with an abbreviated issue description, you can now easily do this with the following smart value:
{{issue.description.abbreviate(200)}}
This smart value results in the first 200 characters of the issue description followed by ...
.
You can use these functions in conditions as well, so if you want sum up a text field only if the field is a number, {{issue.Field Name.isNumeric}}
is your friend.
You can find all of the text functions in the text reference and read more on Text and Date functions in Automation for Jira Server in this article.
