Manipulate string to capitalize each word in the field

[Jakob Kristoffersen]

Hi Jira community,

I have read through the documentation here Jira smart values - text fields | Cloud automation Cloud | Atlassian Support on the different string manipulation methods available to format Jira Smart Values.

I need to capitalize each word in a field but I note that the "capitalize()" method only capitalises the first word in a field. 

Use case example:

A text field contains the value "john smith". I need a method to transform the field value to "John Smith".

Do you know if such a method exists on Jira? I can't seem to find anything in the documentation.

Thank you,

Best regards

Jakob

Hi @Jakob Kristoffersen 

You can combine multiple functions just like how we use them in Javascript. So in this case, you want to do the following:

1. Get the value of the custom field e.g. fullname

2. Split the text value bye .g. a space

3. Capitalize the first letter for each word

4. Join each word separated by e.g. a space

Try to use the following smart value:

{{issue.fullname.split(" ").capitalize().join(" ")}}

I hope it helps.

Best Regards,
