Write Field Content to new comment but format string first

[DavidF]

Hello, I'm trying to write a string from a custom field as a new comment during a transition. This worked so far using " following text parsed in basic mode will be copied to New comment" post function. The problem is, the string needs to be reformated first, because what I recieve now is this:

[ {"id":"Just a Question?","type":"todo"} , {"id":"And another Question?","type":"todo"} ]

What I want to be written as a comment is this:

Just a Question?

And another Question?

Is that possible (knowing your great add-on, I'm sure it is ;-)) and if so, how?

Thank you very much! Kind regards, David

Hi @friedrich78,

You can implement it using "Copy a parsed text to a field" with the following configuration:

String expression is:

toString(findPattern(%{nnnnn}, "[^\"]+(?=\",\"type)"), "\n\n")

replacing nnnnn with field code of the field that contains the text to be reformated.
