Aui-select2 is not a function on a customfield

[Alberto de Ávila Hernández]

Hi all:

We are experiencing an issue in a Jira Server. We are trying to style a list customfield with aui-select2. To do that, we have added to the customfield description the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.$("#customfield_10201").auiSelect2();
</script>

On a local Jira server with version 7.12.1, without any plugin, this code works fine but in a production Jira server, with version 7.11.2 it fails and shows the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: AJS.$(...).auiSelect2 is not a function

I've checked in the production environment that the Atlassian UI plugin is installed and enabled.  

The AJS version is 7.9.0

Looking for a solution we've found that some users proprose to add the following code to a velocity template:

$webResourceManager.requireResource("com.atlassian.auiplugin:aui-select2")

 but, why is it working on our dev instance wihtout doing anything but not in our production instance? 

Regards!

Finally we have found that installing a free plugin, this allow us to execute the javascript code in the creation screen. The plugin is Custom Select List

Hi @Alberto de Ávila Hernández

the AUI version changed between 7.9 and 7.12 so you can expect different behaviours

Sorry! The Jira version is 7.11.2.

7.9.0 is the AJS version.

This is also working on a Jira Server 7.3.8.

Regards!
