removing part of the string from the beginning

SW7 · ‎06-01-2020

Hi Community,

I have a script that works perfectly, apart from the fact that our incident Priority is customised as:

1-Critical, 2-High, 3-Medium

Our script is sent to an external party and needs to pull the current Priority but without the number 1 and - in from of the priority.

Example string below, which current priority, (but should obviously remove the above number and dash)

r.setStringParameterNoEscape('Priority', current.priority);

Is there a way to slice the number and dash that i can return in the above string?

Many thanks

Steve

You're missing a bracket and semicolon after the script I provided. );

r.setStringParameterNoEscape('Priority', current.priority.getDisplayValue().match(/([A-Za-z])\w+/)[0]);

So wait a minute, isn't your Priority field defined as an Integer and the display values of the choices only include text? So "current.getValue("priority")" should give you an integer.

Sorry, my bad, working on too many things at once. So you want the string and not the number.
