Concat fields from Confiforms over to Components in JIRA

Vivek Dokania

Hi Atlassian Community,

I am a novice with coding and I have created my first ever form with Confiforms.

I need help with two things -

1. I want to map the multi-select field from confluence using confiforms (i.e. user inputs) over to Labels in JIRA.

For example: User selects ("Apple", "Grapes", "Oranges") in the multi-select field in the confiform and this should be created as Labels in JIRA as individual element. (Just to let you know the elements in the multi-select field doesnt have any spaces).

2. There are two fields in confiforms, Field1 (a single dropdown) and Field2(a single dropdown). I want to concat the user selection in the confiform as Field1 + Field2.

For example - Field1 has values (1. Anne, 2. Bob, 3. Charlie) and Field2 has values (1. X, 2. Y, 3. Z). If the user selects "Anne" in first field and "Z" in second field, then the output of "Anne_Z" should be going into the Components field in JIRA.

Any help with the JSON code would be really really helpful.

Thanks

To answer 1st part of your question:

For the components you will need to have a structure like this, in your JSON

"components": [{"name":"XXXX"},{"name":"YYYY}]

From ConfiForms, when mapping your multi-value field in the JSON you will need to use the virtual function called "asArrayOfKVPairs(name)"

https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Virtual+functions

Basically to have something like

"components": [[entry.your_field_here.asArrayOfKVPairs(name)]]

where "your_field_here" is the name of the multi-value field you want to map as your components

Hi Alex,

Thanks a ton for sharing this.

The above notation helped me in resolving Issue 2.

But I am still having troubles with Issue 1.

Everytime, I try that I get the following error -

"errors":{"labels":"The label 'Apple Grapes' contains spaces which is invalid."}

Just that you know that if I go into JIRA and type Apple then ENTER then Grapes, it works for me and it creates two separate Labels in JIRA as Apple and Grapes (pic attached) Labels in JIRA.PNG

How do you map the labels field in Jira JSON and what type of the field is used in ConfiForms?

Vivek Dokania

Using the JSON code provided by you above.

"labels": [[entry.Platform.asArrayOfKVPairs(name)]]

the field in the confiform is a Multi-Select field.

Users can select more than one element in the box. The elements are shown up as TILE in the field.

Hi @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ @Vivek Dokania

I'm facing a similar issue that you guys resolved a couple of years ago. Hoping you can help.

I am trying to populate the Components field in my jira using a Confiforms that has a dropdown for my Infrastructure Component values... Here's one of the 100 different options i tried (final one based on comments above):

"components": [[entry.infracomponent.asArrayOfKVPairs(name)]],

I keep getting the expected an object error all the time.

Any help here would be appreciated.

Alex Medved _ConfiForms_

If your field is a (single choice) dropdown then you can just have something like

"components":[{"name":"[entry.infracomponent.label]"}]

I'm pathetic when it comes to responding here soon enough. This worked brilliantly. Thanks so much @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ ! Perfect solution as always.
