Jira Automation - Surely there's an easier way?
Hey community! Sorry - long-ish post incoming I'm currently attempting what should be an easy automation but is really stumping me. I have set up a rule that when bugs in a particular space are resolved, that a slack notification occurs to let out stakeholders know that a bug has been resolved. Where I'm struggling is, that we want to "@" tag them in slack which should be easy right? GPT mentions that I could use a lookup table (I've got over 60 slack IDs to add) but our Jira (premium cloud upgraded version) doesn't offer Lookup tables as an option ?! 🥲. So instead, it recommends we use a create variable option "Reported by: <@{{var.slackMap.[issue.reporter.displayName]}}>" I've done that in the following format: Trigger: Issue transitioned → Done ↓ Condition: Issue type = Bug ↓ Condition: Project = [space] ↓ Action: Create variable (slackMap) ↓ Action: Send Slack message I tested this with just one user/slack ID and it worked perfectly! However, when I added the full list of team members, it populated with this notification in slack: "DO-1234 has been resolved in the Customer Support project. Reported by: <@> View issue" so it's removed the "@" tag that was there when I tried with one example. GPT then said that Jira doesn't support <@{{var.slackMap.[issue.reporter.displayName]}}> (Sigh) My last option is the If/Else path, but not doing that for over 70 team members and it will be impossible to maintain! Any sanity checks/advice would be very much appreciated
