Trigger kb search from scriptrunner

Question

We have a scriptrunner script that populates the summary field based on other custom fields, but after populating it, it should trigger the kb search.

When i start typing at the end of summary, it searches, but it doesn't search without human interaction.

Any idea how to trigger the kb search from within scriptrunner?

Hi there, I did something similar with scriptrunner, but i didn't find how to specially trigger a kb_search with a value. Instead, I catch the value of a customfield (my need here) and inject it in the summary field value and then trigger the search action through 'jQuery(\"#summary\").trigger(\"paste\");' who's calling the search. I did it by injecting js in summary.helpText /* Behaviour for composant field */ def composant=getFieldById(getFieldChanged())def composantVal=composant.getValue() // SUMMARY EDiTdef summary=getFieldById("summary")def summaryVal=summary.getValue() as String if (composantVal!=null) { summary.setFormValue((String)composantVal) summary.setHelpText("")} else { summary.setHelpText("")}

Hi Laurens,

I just finished to implement the behavior to fill summary field but i'm now facing the exact same issue than you ... trigger the kb search..

A solution would be to add js script but i can't find any documentation on the topic ... (change the js listenner on the field)

Did you found any solution ?
