How can I remove spaces when parsing a ticket description to create labels?

[Chad Cox]

This is in reference to the JSON below. I am using automation to parse the description to automagically create labels. I need to replace any spaces and swap them with underscores during the label creation, as spaces obviously are not allowed in labels.

Some of the labels I want to create that come right after the ":: " in the description contain spaces, and I need to replace them with underscores in the add label portion in order for this automation to work.

Does anybody know how I should write the JSON for this to work for me?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

{
"update": {
"labels": [{
"add": "{{issue.description.subStringBetween("AssetCare Application :: ",";")}}"
},
{
"add": "{{issue.description.subStringBetween("AssetCare Solution :: ",";")}}"
},
{
"add": "{{issue.description.subStringBetween("Portfolio : ",";")}}"
},
{
"add": "{{issue.description.subStringBetween("Host :: ",";")}}"
},
{
"add": "{{issue.description.subStringBetween("Asset Identifier :: ",";")}}"
},
{
"add": "{{issue.description.subStringBetween("Asset Type :: ",";")}}"
},
{
"add": "{{issue.description.subStringBetween("Alert Condition :: ",";")}}"
},
{
"add": "{{issue.description.subStringBetween("Alert State :: ",";")}}"
}
]
}
}

Hi @Chad Cox 

Use the following on every add you've got:

{{issue.description.subStringBetween("AssetCare Application :: ",";").replace(" ", "_")}}

This will replace every space with an underscore.

Let me know if that helps :)

Hi Alex,

I appreciated the swift reply. I tried that and it didn't like it, unfortunately... not sure why. I moved on to doing some more detailed if/else combos using variable creation to work out some other tweaks as well, and this appears to be working.

Thanks, and take care :)

But what are you exactly trying to accomplish? If e.g. you have the text 

AssetCare Application :: Frodo Gandalf Sam; Another Word

 You want the words Frodo, Gandalf and Sam all in one connected with an underscore, or to be different labels?

[Chad Cox]

An example would be:

AssetCare Application :: Connected Buildings ;

I want the label to be Connected_buildings. I tried what you recommended as one of my initial tests this morning, but it didn't seem to like it.
