How do I change field’s rendering method via script?

[Tom]

Hello, How do I change field’s rendering method via script? I tried everything, and there is not much examples for this. I have a field that is used in multiple field configurations. I’d like to change its rendering method in all field configurations. My JIRA DC version is 8.20.15. Thank you.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Your script will need to iterate through all the field configurations to find where any field has been used, but I think you knew that.

I think your problem is not knowing what methods to use to read and/or change the renderer setting.

You'll need

• FieldLayoutManager to get each field layout
• Then use EditableFieldLayout.setRendererType to set the new one
• Then you may have to explicitly store the field layout (this is a memory from a long time ago, I'm not sure you need to do that any more, the setRendererType call may do it automatically now)
