How to write a groovy script triggering an event

[Fabian Graevenitz]

Hey there.

I want to provide automatic notifications for issues scheduled to a certain day (in German we call it Wiedervorlage - couldn't find a proper translation).

Therefore I defined a custom event and a custom field of type date. Now I want Jira to trigger my event on every issue whose date value is today.

We have ScriptRunner add-on at our disposal and I found the feature "Custom scheduled job". So far so good. Now my question: Where can I find how to write a script which triggers my event? A code example would be helpful.

Cheers, Fabian

Hi Fabian,

I do not speak German, but it looks like Wiedervorlage translates directly to 'again template.' I think this would be closer to 'follow-up' or 'resubmit/resubmission.'

I don't think that you need a script to accomplish this goal. You could configure a filter that includes JQL to only show issues with your date field set to 'today' using the startOfDay() function. You may also want to use Greater than equals or Less than equals Operators. After the filter is saved, you can subscribe to your search results.

Here are several JQL searches against date fields set to 'today.'

Hi Joshua,

I think "resubmit" is the fitting translation. I already had a filter but I didn't know about subscribing to filters. So this solved my problem actually. Thanks a lot!
