Automation - Description contains "value,value,value...". Is this possible?

[Terry Dance]

New to Jira and we have an automation that looks for a code in the description. Each code has its own "else-if" section, but theres a "catch all" else-if created to look for 20+ codes, to then update a field if description contains one of those codes.

It has been written like,

.

Should this even work? From what I can tell it isnt working at all. Is there a correct way to write this out? Or will they need their own else-ifs, or should I turn the current else-if block into a "at least one condition matches", and separate them out there?

@Terry Dance separating them out might not be ideal if you have a long list.

I would suggest using {{smart values}} condition instead:

• Set First value to {{issue.description}}
• Set Condition to contains regular expression
• Set Regular expression to (xxx|yyy|...|zzz) xxx, yyy, zzz are your number
