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.
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.
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.
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.
