Filter selectable "Fix Version/s" field values

Filter selectable "Fix Version/s" field values

Hi Guys,

how could one filter the selectable values of the "Fix Version/s" field by a filter which is different for each project? (Filtercriteria could e.g. be a value of some custom field, or a category)

Also the displayed name of the versions should be adapted (e.g. remove prefixes)

Example:

Project A has the versions

Pref1_1.1_x
Pref1_1.2_y
Pref2_3.2_z
Pref2_4.1

now based on a filter only versions with prefix "Pref1" should be shown, the displayed names of the versions should miss the prefix - so this versions would be the result:

1.1_x
1.2_y

Kind regards, Christoph

Hello,

There is no option like this. What are you trying to do? Are you developing your own plugin for Jira?

I wanted to do this with a behaviour ... some projects has tons of versions which should be filtered to make it easier to choose.

Some colleague meant to maybe solve this with a custom field (multiselect) which gets filled when loading the edit screen... but this seamed to be a bad hack.

Do you mean ScriptRunner behaviour?

Yes - ScriptRunner

I think it is possible to limit Fix Versions with ScriptRunner behaviour, but I was not able to find any code.

You can try to use the solution of your colleague or you can try the Power Scripts add-on. There is a similair feature to behaviours, called Live Fields.

You code would look like this:

lfRestrictSelectOptions("fixVersions", {"Version1", "Version2"});

Temporary I solved it with a custom field (multiselect) which get filled with all possible values in one script.

Another script filters the shown Options.

BUT: We really should consider Power Scripts because the actual workaround has about 100 lines of code

I don't know if there is a better way of filtering the versions in the fixVersions field with ScriptRunner.

(We additionally have the problem that the "Configuration Management Toolkit" plugin also filters the versions - but with another filter)

So finally I found a "dark hack".

If one sets the description of a field it can be done with html with an <script></script> tag in it... the script gets executed.

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormField

class FixVersionsFilter extends FieldBehaviours {
  def run() {
    def piVersionsRegex = "/^sws.*/i"
    FormField fixVersionField = getFieldById("fixVersions")
    fixVersionField.setDescription(
      "<html>" +
      "  <body>" +
      "    <div></div>" +
      "    <script type=\"text/javascript\">" +
      "      var onChange = function(element, callback) {" +
      "        var HTML = element.innerHTML;" +
      "        var debounce = false;" +
      "        window.setInterval(function() {" +
      "          var newHTML = element.innerHTML;" +
      "          if (HTML !== newHTML) {" +
      "            debounce = true;" +
      "            HTML = newHTML;" +
      "          } else if (debounce && HTML === newHTML) {" +
      "            debounce = false;" +
      "            callback();" +
      "          }" +
      "        }, 500);" +
      "      };" +
      "      var filterFixVersions = function() {" +
      "        var releasedVersion = \$(\"#fixVersions>optgroup[label='Released Versions']>option\");" +
      "        for(var i = 0; i < releasedVersion.length; ++i){" +
      "          if (${piVersionsRegex}.test(releasedVersion[i].text)){" +
      "            releasedVersion[i].remove();" +
      "          }" +
      "        }" +
      "        var optionsUnreleased = \$(\"#fixVersions>optgroup[label='Unreleased Versions']>option\");" +
      "        for(var i = 0; i < optionsUnreleased.length; ++i){" +
      "          if (${piVersionsRegex}.test(optionsUnreleased[i].text)){" +
      "            optionsUnreleased[i].remove();" +
      "          }" +
      "        }" +
      "      };" +
      "      \$(document).ready(function(){" +
      "        filterFixVersions();" +
      "        var fixVersionsElement = \$(\"#fixVersions\")[0];" +
      "        onChange(fixVersionsElement, function() {" +
      "          filterFixVersions();" +
      "        });" +
      "      });" +
      "    </script>" +
      "  </body>" +
      "</html>"
    )
  }
}
