This post function lets you copy an excerpt of a specific field.


Image AddedConfiguration

ui-text-boxexpand
typetitlenote

In this documentation and the post function configuration you will notice the symbol ( * ) next to some parameters, it means that this field is mandatory and shall not be left empty. Fields without the symbol are optional.

Basic configuration*

Below you will find a detailed description of each parameter of the basic configuration of the function.

Source field*

Info
iconfalse

Select the field to get the value from (e.g., summary, assignee).

Target field*

Info
iconfalse

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

Excerpt configuration*

Leading delimiter*

Source field

Select the field the value will be copied or extracted from.


UI Expand
titleTarget field

Select the field the value will be copied to.

titleExcerpt configuration

Leading delimiter

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:

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 (case sensitive)

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.

    		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.

    Info
    iconfalse

    Enter plain text and optionally use field codes to insert field values. The expression must be a valid regular expression.

    Multiple pattern matching*

    Specify the the pattern to be copied by defining a regular expression ignoring the case.

    When selecting one of the regular expression options, you will be able to enter a regular expression to further process the matched text.

    Multiple pattern matches

    Unless you choose to copy the entire text between the delimiters, you have to select
