Type is one of the properties of the announcement, defining the source of the content presented to the users.

There are 3 different types of announcements:

Simple text

If you choose Simple text you can write your own content, which will be visible to users.

Announcement Feeds > Announcement Types > types1.png

Single issue

If you choose this option, the application copies data from the selected issue.
Its name will be used as content to be displayed to users.

The name of the announcement will be copied from Issue Summary.
Description (content) will be copied from the Issue Description.

Announcement Feeds > Announcement Types > types2.png

Multiple issues

If you choose this option the application will use data from these issues, which will be compatible with JQL queries provided by the administrator.
The content of the results will be displayed to users as a number of announcements (it depends on the number of issues).

The name of the announcement will be copied from Issue Summary.
Description (content) will be copied from the Issue Description.

Announcement Feeds > Announcement Types > types3.png

Tags ($$CURENT_USER$$) always return quotation marks (" "), so if you want to use JQL, in which the nested query is located, you have to use one of the additional special characters - escape quotation marks.

Characters	Name	Description
'query'	Inputs	Second level of JQL
\'query\'	Backslash	Third level of JQL

It happens because from the application point of view quotation marks (" ") have already been used.

WARNING

In the case of multiple-use of one issue in one Feed, only one Announcement will be displayed.

e.g.

If the selected issue is used in two different Single Issue Announcements, only one Announcement will be displayed (instead of two).
If the selected issue is used in Multiple Issue and Single Issue Feeds, only one Announcement will be displayed (instead of two).

In any case, only the Announcement that was created earlier will be displayed to the users.
