Error adding comment to issue Comment body can not be empty! (comment)

[Edwin Andrew]

Unsure why this function won't print test. As its identified as an empty comment when trying to use Jira Automation - Comment on Issue.

{{#lookupIssues}}
{{#if(labels.contains("Unplanned_Downtime"))}}
      test
{{/}}
{{/lookupIssues}}

Hi @Edwin Andrew 

Short answer: the labels smart value is a list of values, and there is no contains() function for lists or text.  Please try using the match() function with a regular expression.

If that does not help, context is important for the community to help.  Please post the following:

• what type of project is this (e.g., company-managed, team-managed, etc.), 
• an image of your complete automation rule in a single image for continuity,
• images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches,
• an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and
• explain what is not working as expected and why you believe that to be the case.

Kind regards,
Bill
