typeinfo

With this post function you can This post function lets you copy an excerpt of a specific field by defining a leading and trailing delimiter. For this, either normal text or a regular expression can be used.


Configuration

UI Expand
titleSource field

Select the field to get the value will be copied or extracted from (e.g., summary, assignee).


UI Expand
titleTarget field

Select the field the value will be copied to (e.g., new comment, reporter).

titleExcerpt configuration

Leading delimiter

Choose The value that will be extracted is enclosed by a leading and a trailing delimiter. You first have to define the type of the leading delimiter you will enter next. The following options are available:

OptionDescription

Text (case sensitive)

Specify the text that will serve as the leading delimiter. The text found by JWT must exactly match the delimiter (case sensitive).

Text (ignoring case)

Choose this option if JWT should ignore the case.

Regular expression (case sensitive)

Define a regular expression as the leading delimiter, respecting the case.

Regular expression (ignoring case sensitive)

Expression

Enter plain text and optionally use field codes to insert field values. This will be the actual delimiter to be searched for.

Excerpt pattern

Choose this option if JWT should ignore the case.

Expression

Once you have specified how JWT should identify the delimiter, you now have to specify the exact value. Dynamic patterns can be created through insertion of field codes that will be replaced with the corresponding field values.

Trailing delimiter

The options and the handling are identical to the leading delimiter configuration.

UI Text Box
typetip

Delimiters specify the boundaries in which JWT extracts a value matching the given pattern. The pattern must follow directly after the leading delimiter.

Specifying delimiters is optional. If you want to search for a pattern in the entire field value leave the delimiters empty.

OptionDescription

None (copy whole text between the delimiters)

Select this option if you  want to copy the entire text found between the delimiters.

Number

When you select this option, a regular expression will be constructed for you in the background. This expression will match the vast majority of possible values, but there might be valid values that don't match these regular expressions

If you want to be sure to definitely include all values, please select "None (copy whole text between the delimiters)" or specify your own regular expression by selection one of the regular expression options.
