Using GString Templates

ScriptRunner allows you to write Groovy scripts with dynamically generated text using GString Templates. You can add dynamic text in a template using the ${expression} syntax. All editors supporting GString Templates in ScriptRunner have Code Insight, allowing you to utilize code completions, parameter hints, and Javadoc lookup.

Below we show a simple example of how you can use GString Templates in ScriptRunner.

For example, if you want to create a Send Custom Email listener, you can write the Email template and Subject template using GString Templates.

Enter the following into the Email template field:

Dear ${issue.assignee?.displayName},
 
The ${issue.issueType.name} ${issue.key} with priority ${issue.priority?.name} has been assigned to you.

Regards,
${issue.reporter?.displayName}

Enter the following into the Subject template field:
1
Issue ${issue.key} has been assigned to you.
