How to truncate the text field in Jirassimo?

[Gonchik Tsymzhitov]

Hi!

Could you help me with the use case?

We have a huge description. 

I've tried to make it via  the display tools (https://velocity.apache.org/tools/devel/apidocs/org/apache/velocity/tools/generic/DisplayTool.html), stringUtils - no luck. 

Also, substring does now work :( 

I will be happy to understand how to truncate the text from field data.

Cheers,

Gonchik Tsymzhitov

Hi,

You could use substring() to limit the number of characters that are output for a text field like this:

$!issue.fields.descriptionHTML.substring(0, 100)

Best,
