Is it possible to dynamically add a component to an issue based on the different Github repos?

[Connor Skiro]

I have an ask by a team that maintains a dozen Github repos which is:
1. When a Pull Request is created
2. THEN add a component to the issue based on the name of the repo

For context, I have created components for each of their repos (e.g., 'react-hello-world' is a component in the project and the name of a repo)

Is it feasible to grab the name of the repo and then use that same smart value to edit the Component field?

Or do I have to use a multi if-else statement to apply the correct components?

Note: {{repoName}} = {{pullRequest.destinationBranch.repository.name}}

Hi @Connor Skiro - If the components match the name of the repo, the If/Else conditions will not be necessary.  Are you encountering any issues with your rule?

[Connor Skiro]

I was able to get the if/else option to work, but I'm trying to avoid the if/else statements altogether.

Instead, I'm looking to add a component based on the GitHub repo name from the {{pullRequest}} smart value

Your rule looks good to me.  Is the audit log showing any errors?

[Connor Skiro]

An error on my part, {{pullRequest.destinationBranch.repository.name}} returns github-account/react-hello-world so I need to figure out if there's another smart value that just returns the repository name or how to grab the text after the slash.

You could do this:

{{pullRequest.destinationBranch.repository.name.subStringAfter("/")}}
