Additional product info

This function returns the result of a given JMESPath which is applied to a JSON as a text. In case a number, a list, a JSON object or a logical value is returned by JMESPath, the returned text of the function getFromJSON() can be converted accordingly, e.g. with toStringList().

It unfolds its power when combined with the post function Execute remote action, where fields are set with the response of the executed action (or parts of it).

Syntax
getFromJSON(JSONString, JMESPath) #Output: Text
Parser expressionDescription

%{getFromJSON(%{issue.cf10011},"key")}

Customfield 10011 is a multiline text field and holds the result of a previously executed action (by Execute remote action) which created a project in a Jira instance:

{
    "self": "https://your-instance.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/project/10020",
    "id": 10020,
    "key": "PRJ"
}

This example returns:
PRJ

%{getFromJSON("{\"key\":\"value\"}","key")}

In this case, a JSON is given as text - quotes have to be escaped with \

This example returns:
Value
