This page explains how to access the value of Standard JIRA fields using Nunjucks. Each field's structure is explained with examples. To understand how to write values into these fields see, Text input for fields and JSON input for fields.
It is now possible to access the standard fields of an issue by its Field name or Key.
Example:
{{ issue.fields.watches.watchCount }} and {{ issue.fields.Watchers.watchCount }}, both return the number of watchers.
When the field name contains a space or any special character, you need to use the array syntax to access the field :
Example:
{{ issue.fields['Issue Type'].name }}
{{ issue.fields['Component/s'][0].name }}
