Setting field with nunjucks in JMWE by iterating over an array

Paul Alexander

For every project, I have exactly one Tempo account (Tempo Timesheets product) defined that represents the support aspect of that project. It contains the word "Support" prefixed by something else ("Foo Support", "Bar Support", etc). The business wants to set the Account field when a support ticket comes in.

I have the JMWE add-on (awesome by the way!) and use it for many things, but I can't figure out how to produce a nunjucks script to achieve this. I've gone through Innovalog and Nunjucks docs.

As an example, I have these Accounts for a project TEST:

• Extend Microwave Oven To Handle Ice
• Build Flux Capacitor
• Foo Support

I need to loop through the set of Accounts associated with the project TEST and return the one with Support in its name and set the Account field to Foo Support.

For instance, this does not work (I tried the custom field's name and also tried "Account".

{{ issue.fields.customfield_12440 | find("Support") }}

Hi Paul,

unfortunately, this is not exactly easy on Jira Cloud. It requires a new feature (https://innovalog.atlassian.net/browse/MWEC-417) that will be released in the next version of JMWE for Jira Cloud (within a week) and some Nunjucks code:

{% set regex = r/Support/ %}
{% for account in "Account" | availableOptions %}
  {% if regex.test(account.value) %}
    {% set proj = account.config.scope.projects2 | find({id:issue.fields.project.id | int}) %}
    {{ account.id if proj and not proj.attributes | find('notSelectable')}}
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

This complicated code is required because you need to check, for each account that matches the regular expression, that it also is available for the project of the current issue (and the way Tempo expresses it is complicated and might change in the future).
