Due date behavior

Omprakash Thamsetty

Hi,

I am writing behavior to restrict it with following 2 things.

  1) On Create subTask due date can not be before Parent issue Creation date and not to be after Parent issue due date.

2) Users should not allow on Edit subTask due date can not be before Parent creation date and after Parent due date. 

My code is as follow. Its working fine but setHelpText or setError is not showing when comparing SubTask Due date < Parent creation Date. Whats wrong with my code.

 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import java.sql.Timestamp
import java.lang.Object

import org.apache.log4j.Level
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours
def DueDate = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
def DueSubtask = DueDate.getValue()
Date newDueSubtask = (Date)DueSubtask
def newDueSubtaskformat = newDueSubtask.format('MM/dd/yyyy')

def actName = getActionName()

if(actName != "Create"){
def issueId = formContents["id"]
def issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject(issueId as Long)
MutableIssue parentEdit = issue.getParentObject() as MutableIssue;

Date ReqDue = parentEdit.getDueDate()

if(newDueSubtask.compareTo(ReqDue)>0) { 
def parduedateformat = ReqDue.format('MM/dd/yyyy')
// DueDate.setHelpText("Workitem due date ${newDueSubtaskformat} cannot be > Request due date ${parduedateformat}")
DueDate.setError("Workitem due date (${newDueSubtaskformat}) cannot be > Request due date (${parduedateformat})")
}else {
//DueDate.clearHelpText()
DueDate.clearError()
} 
}else{

def parent = getFieldById("parentIssueId")
Long parentIssueId = parent.getFormValue() as Long

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def parentIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(parentIssueId)
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

Date DueReq = parentIssue.getDueDate()
Date ReqCreatedate = parentIssue.getCreated() 
log.warn "Parent create date" + ReqCreatedate

if(newDueSubtask.compareTo(ReqCreatedate)<0){
log.warn "I am in creation date comaprison ${newDueSubtask}"
def parentcreatedateformat = ReqCreatedate.format('MM/dd/yyyy')
DueDate.setError("Workitem due date cannot be < Request create date ")
// DueDate.setHelpText("Workitem due date cannot be < Request create date")
// DueDate.setFormValue("") 
}else {
//DueDate.clearHelpText()
DueDate.clearError()
} 
if((newDueSubtask.compareTo(DueReq)>0) ) { 
def parduedateformat = DueReq.format('MM/dd/yyyy')
DueDate.setHelpText("Workitem due date (${newDueSubtaskformat}) cannot be > Request due date (${parduedateformat})")
DueDate.setFormValue("")
} else {
DueDate.clearHelpText()
} 


}

 Even seeing the error in logs as below

 Cannot cast object '' with class 'java.lang.String' to class 'java.util.Date'

Any advise?

 

PD Sheehan

It would have helped to know which line threw the error. That's usually available in the stack trace. 

But the following (simpler script) works for me:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def dateFormat = "MM/dd/YYYY"

if(issueContext.issueType.isSubTask()){ //only run behavior on sub-tasks
   def dueDateFld = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
   dueDateFld.clearError()
   dueDateFld.clearHelpText()
   def parent //placeholder parent issue object, we'll get it in the next step

   if(getActionName() != 'Create'){
      parent = issueContext.parentObject
   } else {
      parent = ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssueObject(formContents.parentIssueId.toLong())
   }
   if(parent){ //in case the parent object was not correctly identified somehow
      if(parent.dueDate && dueDateFld.value){ //in case the parent or current due date is null
         if(dueDateFld.value.toTimestamp() > parent.dueDate ){
            dueDateFld.setError("Sub task Due Date (${dueDateFld.value.toTimestamp().format(dateFormat )}) cannot be > parent Due Date (${parent.dueDate.format(dateFormat )})")
         }
         if(dueDateFld.value.toTimestamp() < parent.created){
            dueDateFld.setError("Sub task Due Date (${dueDateFld.value.toTimestamp().format(dateFormat )}) cannot be < parent Created Date (${parent.created.format(dateFormat )})")
         }
      }
   }
}
