Create a screen with scriptrunner (clone a project)

Laurent Bierge

Hi,

I'm trying to create a real clone of a project with Scriptrunner.

To do that, i need to copy every single element of a project (workflow scheme, workflow, issue type scheme,...)

I'm acutally trying to do that with issue type screen scheme.

There is a manager for this object, but the function to create a issue type screen scheme is odd:

void <span><a href="https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/7.3.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/fields/screen/issuetype/IssueTypeScreenSchemeManager.html#createIssueTypeScreenScheme-com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.screen.issuetype.IssueTypeScreenScheme-" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">createIssueTypeScreenScheme</a></span>(<a href="https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/7.3.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/fields/screen/issuetype/IssueTypeScreenScheme.html" title="interface in com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.screen.issuetype" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">IssueTypeScreenScheme</a> issueTypeScreenScheme)

And there is no further description.

I tried to dig this issue until the screen object. Even for the screen we have this kind of function:

void <span><a href="https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/7.3.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/fields/screen/FieldScreenManager.html#createFieldScreen-com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.screen.FieldScreen-" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">createFieldScreen</a></span>(<a href="https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/7.3.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/fields/screen/FieldScreen.html" title="interface in com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.screen" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">FieldScreen</a> fieldScreen)

Besides the architecture of the issue type screen scheme is a bit weird, i found this:

IssueTypeScreenScheme
- FieldScreenScheme (screen scheme corresponding to an issue type)
  - FieldScreenSchemeItem (???)
    - FieldScreen (the actual screen)
      - FieldScreenTab
      - org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue
      - Long (the id)

The goal is to create FieldScreens, then associate them to upper objects.

But there is no real function to create FieldScreenScheme or FieldScreen or

FieldScreenSchemeItem.

There is still a possibility to create thos object since there are all kind of setters:

`void`	`<span><a href="https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/7.3.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/fields/screen/FieldScreen.html#setDescription-java.lang.String-" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">setDescription</a></span>(<a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">String</a> description)`
`void`	`<span><a href="https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/7.3.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/fields/screen/FieldScreen.html#setGenericValue-org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue-" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">setGenericValue</a></span>(org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue genericValue)`
`void`	`<span><a href="https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/7.3.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/fields/screen/FieldScreen.html#setId-java.lang.Long-" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">setId</a></span>(<a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Long.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Long</a> id)`
`void`	`<span><a href="https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/7.3.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/fields/screen/FieldScreen.html#setName-java.lang.String-" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">setName</a></span>(<a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">String</a> name)`

But that doesn't seems "clean" at all to me. Besides i still need to generate a correct id and i'm not sure how to generate a correcte "GenericValue".

Any idea for all this matter ?

Hello,

There is already built-in script to do the same task. It is called Clone project. Go to cog item->add-ons find built-in scripts in the vertical menu.

Actually i only have "copy". Besides "copy" don't clone project elements, it share them with the new project.

I want my new project to be independant.

A little update about this long lost journey.

Actually the FieldScreenSchemeItem is what makes the link between FieldScreenScheme and an issue operation.

The big improvement is that i managed to create a screen by scripting. I think there is a lot of safe way to do that and that the one i used may not be the safest one.

The interface FieldScreen actually has functions that allow you to create a screen. However, as it is an interface it doesn't have a constructor.

The class FieldScreenImpl which implement FieldScreen does have all those function and have a constructor. That constructor is very easy to use since it only requires the FieldScreenManager interface. (which you can obtain in componentAccessor)

So i created an FieldScreenImpl object and set the name, description, tab (important) and id (very important). The id is set by reading all screens ids and adding one to the bigger id. (if the id is already used, an error is thrown)

I used the store function to create the screen.

With this in mind, it should be possible to use this method to create every object until the issueTypeScreenScheme.

Ps: Now that i've seen what's was in "xxxImpl" classes, i think that it's something that is obvious for most of devs that this class should be used to create object. It wasn't for me though !

Hi Laurent,

Would you be able to post a snippet of code demonstrating how you were able to create the issue type screen scheme? We are similarly stuck. I will be looking into the impl classes you described above, just wanted to see if you had any examples that worked for you.

Thanks!

Laurent Bierge

Hi Joshua,

No exemple left, I didn't kept an exemple of what I've tested ^^'.

However, if you follow what I said, i'm sure you can manage to build something.

Regards,

Laurent

Hey Laurent,

I have the same need as you did - full clone of a project with own Elements.

Unfortunately I'm a SR Noob fo could you post your complete script here? It would massively massively help me.
