Trim the description and get only firstline

[buildsree]

HI,

Is it possible to trim or truncate the description and show only first line in azure wiki. since the description is too much for some tasks so we dont need dump entire description insted we do only firstline and for more description user can go and check in the task

Description {{lookup this.fields 'System.Description'}}

Thanks in advance

Yes it is you can do it using built in Handlebar helpers, or a custom JS module where you have more flexibility.

For the latter have a look at this sample.

HI,

Thank you for your replay. I am able truncate the Description and Reprosteps using below module which resolved my requirement

module.exports = {
lookup: function (collection, key) {
console.log('Lookup:', collection, key);
return collection[key];
},
truncate: function (str, len) {
console.log('Truncate:', str, len);
if (str && str.length > len) {
return str.substring(0, len) + '...';
}
return str || '';
}
};
