Description
Substitution variables are of great help when it comes to configuring field values for issues. Want to use a field value using a value map? For instance, you want the Jira user to see one value on the screen, but internally, you need a different value to be set in a custom field. How can this be done easily? This shows how to do this using a cascade select configuration in an non-typical way. CSOT-103 has more details on the configuration access capability use in this example.
Example of a value map
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| joe | joe@xxx.com |
| sally | sally@xxx.com |
Steps
The following steps demonstrate how to configure Create on Transition, regex inspection of the project using a built-in function:
| Step | Example | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Create a cascade select custom field
|
|
| 2 | Add a parent entry with the key value of your map | |
| 3 | Create a child entry with the value part of your map | |
| 4 | Repeat for each key and value pair |
Use substitution values
Suppose your cascade select custom field is called: myMap
| Example | Result |
|---|---|
| %values_myMap(joe)% | joe@xxx.com |
| %values_myMap(sally)% | sally@xxx.com |
%values_myMap(%entry%)%
| sally@xxx.com |
