How to get current Issue in a webpanel plugin

Question

Hello,

I'm developing a plugin wich contains a Web panel in the Issue view.

I need to show some data from issue fields in my panel, but actually can't.

JiraHelper jiraHelper = new JiraHelper();
Issue currentIssue = (Issue) jiraHelper.getContextParams().get("issue");
summary = currentIssue.getSummary();

Actually i'm using this code, but is not working.

Anyone know how can i fix it?

Hi Jorge,

Usually you don't need to create JiraHelper by yourself. I think in that case you have empty context params at all. I extend my context provider from AbstractJiraContextProvider and override public Map<String, Object> getContextMap(ApplicationUser applicationUser, JiraHelper jiraHelper) method. So you are provided JiraHelper. You just need to use it.
