Using smart values with smart values

[Christof Hurst]

Hi, 

I need to use a smart value within another smart value and do not get the correct syntax. 

In my case I want to get values from attached forms. As I do not know how many forms are attached I need to determine the latest form.

1. So first I create a smart value "MyFormID".
2. Then I want to fetch the real value "{{issue.properties."proforma.forms.i<HERE_MY_ID>".state.answers."1".choices}}

I tried by replacing and with including with different brackets but I do not get a result.

Perhaps there is also an alternativ way the get the form values?

Asking the other way: How can I use a string as a smart value? 

Can anybody provide correct syntax please?

Hi Christof,

There is a much better way to do this now. Take a look at this article. You can use last. for the form also to get the last form.

Thanks John, 

that solved the problem. Wonder why this isn't linked with smart values.
