[Mouad Azizi]

I currently need to add the labels at the end of every issue title and I was wondring if it is possible to Automate this action since it's take alot of time to do it manually.

ex: Title of issue + [Label]

Thanks in advance

Hi @Mouad Azizi -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There are several ways to do this, and all require additional consideration of cleanup, edge cases, etc. to manage the different scenarios.

Before considering any of those, what problem are you trying to solve by doing this?  That is, "why do this?"

Knowing that may help the community to offer better alternative solutions to solve the problem.

Kind regards,

Hello @Mouad Azizi 

Am not sure of your trigger, may be manual or field change?

Either way, to edit summary and add labels, its simple.

You edit your issue and choose summary from drop down and give {{summary}} - {{labels}} as value. It will replace your existing value with labels and separate them by a -...

@Mouad Azizi Note two things with the solution,

• Labels may be appended to your summary multiple times
• All labels will be appended

You can consider some advanced approaches, but I would not advise appending labels to the summary in general.

Some things that come to mind,

{{issue.summary}} - {{#issue.labels}}{{^contains}}INC{{/}}{{.}}{{^last}}, {{/}}{{/}}

{{issue.summary}} - {{#issue.labels}}{?contains("INC")}{.}{?}{^last}, {{/}}{{/}}
