Using Smart Values in JSON request

[Damian Eickhoff]

Hi Everyone,

I can't figure out how I can use Smart Values in a JSON API Request. This is the request i'm doing:

{
"briefDescription": "TEST",
"action":"{{field.priority.name}}"
}

 Except, the action in the payload stays empty.

{
  "briefDescription": "TEST",
  "action": ""
}

I just used the priority.name as a example, but it should give a output anyways which it doens't. I'm not sure if i'm doing anything wrong.

Hope someone can help me out.

I was working on something similar with the Send web request automation. The syntax in your original post should be fine.

I think the problem is that {{field.priority}} is not a valid smart value. It should be {{issue.priority.name}}.

Hello! Have you found a solution?

Hey @Damian Eickhoff 

Welcome to Atlassian Community !!

I guess you are trying to pass smart value in advanced editing option for automation rule.

So there are few allowed smart values that can be converted into JSON format as documented here https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-json-functions/

See if this helps.

Hi @Vishwas ,

Thank you for your response and welcome !

Yes, I try to use these smart value in a web request. I already read that documentation you are referring to, but even if I do:

{
"briefDescription": "TEST",
"action":"{{field.priority.name.asJsonString}}"
} 

the payload for "Action" would still be empty. So no luck there unfortunately.
