I am using the official action for posting Slack messages.

I am composing the payload using the actions script as follows:

  - name: construct slack payload
      id: set-slack-payload
      uses: actions/github-script@v7
      with:
        script: |
          const payload = {
            "text": "Docker Image Build for ${{ inputs.image_name }}: ${{ inputs.success && '**Success**' || '**Epic Failure**' }}",
            "username": "Image Building Workflow",
            "icon_url": "https://www.icons.com/myicon.png",
            "attachments": [
              {

Placing the Success / Failure words inside ** does not format the words as bold.

How can this be done?

Hey @pantelis-karamolegkos! Glad this issue was completed but I'm really curious what the fix was? I'm not so familiar with actions/github-script@v7 so might guess something strange was happening with it 🤔

@zimeg the solution was to add single * around the word I wanted formatted as bold, as in

 "text": "Docker Image Build for ${{ inputs.image_name }}: ${{ inputs.success && '*Success*' || '*Epic Failure*' }}",
