The number parsing mode is the perfect fit if you need to perform any kind of calculation or if you want to simply set a number field.
This mode accepts the use of field codes which be replaced at runtime with the corresponding field value of the issue currently being processed.
Field codes need to either return a number or a timestamp or need to be converted or casted.
Example expressions
| Parser expression | Description |
|---|---|
This is the issue summary: %{issue.summary}
| This example might return: This is the issue summary: JWT 3.0 wording update |
Next status update needed by: %{issue.dueDate}
| This example might return: Next status update needed by: 30.07.2020 |
This issue has been re-assigned to %{issue.assignee}.
| This example might return: This issue has been re-assigned to a.grant. |
You can write your text in basic text mode, and then switch to Advanced text mode using the automatic parsing mode converter.
The text to be parsed will be automatically rewritten as a text expression. Now, you can simply make the modifications you require, making use of text formatting functions, or insert math or time expressions where needed.
To update issue fields, the parsing result will be cast to the expected value e.g. a user name will be cast to a user to update a user field like the assignee field.
