Number of characters in a field

Return / count the number of characters in any text field including spaces.

Configuration

Create a Custom smart number field and use the General parsing mode.

Expression

CODE

%{count(findPattern(%{issue.cfnnnn}, "."))}

Please, note that it is necessary to replace nnnnn with the ID of the custom field containing the URL.

A common use case would be to count the characters of the work item description. This is helpful if you are preparing social posts and have a character limitation. The expression would then be:

CODE

%{count(findPattern(%{issue.description}, "."))}

Format

Custom format

Pattern
