Script Runner commented function

[Richard Jones]

Hi All

I have just installed script runner. I was to create a function that will allow me to show all issues within several epics.

I am playing now to try to get to grips with it. It seems very comprehensive!

I haev some questions from my playing

1_ Are the script runner functions only accessible via the administration -> Script Runner console? Are they available via the main search console in JIRA for end users

2_ For testing I saw there was a commented built in function. WHen I try and run the followig I get an error. I have tried various permutations but cant seem to get it to run. Im trying this is in the Script Runner console.

commented (by = jones)

Do I have to enable something? Are there any example of how the built in functions can be used? I couldnt seem to find the build in functions as scripts. I am assuming they are within the jar file.

3_ So it's clear in my head I am assuming that I will have to create another script function (issuesWithinEpics) or something similar and then upload it vai the script runner admin page. Ideally this would be accessible from the main JIRA search page. Is my understanding correct?

Thanks

Hi...

They are JQL functions accessible to all users.

It should be this:

issueFunction in commented('by jbloggs')

Note the quotes. And see the doco: https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Scripted+JQL+Functions#ScriptedJQLFunctions-commented(commentquery)

> create another script function (issuesWithinEpics) or something similar

Sort of, some info here: https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Breaking+Changes+for+Custom+JQL+Functions+in+3.0

Chances are though that you may not need to write anything, read above and below: https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Scripted+JQL+Functions#ScriptedJQLFunctions-MoreComplexExamples
