SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXXX")
def currentDate = new Date()
def after30Mins

Extract insight key from custom field value.

When you do a GET on an issue containing insight custom field value it will return an array of values like this [“My object (thekey-123)“,”My other object (thekey-456)”] to extract the key from that use a groovy variable with the lines below.

The action structure will look like this:

Add a GET request on the issue, this will return the issue as a json representation
add an iterator with $.fields.customfield_10234 (the id of the custom field that holds the insight values)
Add a POST create issue request with the body below

Groovy variable {{extractInsightKey}} It will return thekey-123 and thekey-456
