Field value embedded in issue description

Christian Bertram June 1, 2024 edited

I want to display the value of an issue field inside the issue description so that I can see the description text with a dynamic text element.

Description text:


  • The champion for this idea is Nikhil Singh.

The name "Nikhil Singh" is filled in from a custom field called Champion. An issue champion can change. And I want the issue description to reflect that changing detail without having to update it.

I don't want to refer to the issue field separately. 

Thanks for some pointers for ideas or ways to making this happen.

Create the automation:

1.Trigger- field value change: Champion

2.Action: edit issue 

a) Field: Description

b) value: The champion for this idea is {{issue.customfield_12345}}

Replace 12345 with your "champion" field ID. You can find custom fields ID at:
