Is there a way to set a date using JMCF when a custom value changed?

Joe Harmon_y3pgen

I have a custom field called "Goal Date Type" that has the values of "Ambition", "Target", and "Committed". I want to be able to list the items that have changed from either "Ambition" or "EMPTY" to "Target" or "Committed". As far as I can tell, the only access I have to changes like this are with status changes. So I suspect I need to have a date set when this change occurs. I have JMCF that I am sure would be able to do this but I am not very sure how to do the comparison in the groovy script portion. Any ideas would be very helpful, thanks.

Hi Joe,

You can create a Calculated Date time field with a Groovy script similar to this:

if(!!issue.getFieldHistory("Goal Date Type") && issue.getFieldHistory("Goal Date Type")[-1].fromString == "Ambition" && issue.getFieldHistory("Goal Date Type")[-1].toString == "Target")
return issue.getFieldHistory("Goal Date Type")[-1].created

Note, without a reindex the new value is not displayed in the searches and statistics but only the issue view. So to be able to use this field in the searches, you will need to perform a re-index after you update the custom field value.

Thanks. I assume you don't have to reindex it every time, just the once correct? Also, If I wanted to do Target or Committed, what would that look like?

Yes, Joe. Just once, when you change the value of the custom field. Do you mean Target to Committed? Just replace the values in the script

if(!!issue.getFieldHistory("Goal Date Type") && issue.getFieldHistory("Goal Date Type")[-1].fromString == "Target" && issue.getFieldHistory("Goal Date Type")[-1].toString == "Committed")
return issue.getFieldHistory("Goal Date Type")[-1].created

Thanks for the feedback. I am actually meaning Target or Committed. Basically I want the date to be set if the goal is changed from empty or Ambition to Target or Committed.
