This simple or basic text parsing mode allows you to write free text and insert field codes anywhere in your text.

All field codes will be replaced at runtime with the corresponding field value of the issue currently being processed.


Supported featuresReturn typeExample
Field codes




The basic parsing mode supports the usage of field codes. Field codes can be used to access issue field values.

This is the issue summary: %{trigger.issue.summary}



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.
