Scriptrunner assistance - exclude specific statuses from returned issues

Jamie Rogers

Hi Community

I would like to get some assistance with Scriptrunner for an existing script we have. In its current form the script returns some specific field data from linked issues and is used in reporting however there is now a requirement to exclude issues of a particular status.

I am unsure how to construct the exclusion part of the script and need a bit of help with this. I want to exclude issues that are either in "Live" or "Withdrawn" statuses.

Script - Current form

import com.atlassian.jira.component.pico.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
def cfManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def retVal = ''

// Get only outward links
def links = issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.id)

def itr = links.iterator()
while (itr.hasNext()) {
def link = itr.next()

// Only care about "depends on" link types
if (link.issueLinkType.name != 'Depends') {
continue
}

// Get other issue
def linkedIssue = link.destinationObject 

// Line seperators if more than one ticket
if (retVal != '') {
retVal += '<br>'
}
retVal += "${linkedIssue.getKey()} [${linkedIssue.getStatus().getName()}] - ${linkedIssue.getSummary()} " 
}

return retVal

Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.

I've been on a journey to make more of my scripts and responses "groovy" ...

I think this 10-line script can achieve the same output

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def excludedStatuses= ['Live', 'Withdrawn']
def includedLinkTypes = ['Depends']
// Get only outward links
def links = issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.id)

links.findAll{ it.issueLinkType in includedLinkTypes }
  .destinationObject
  .findAll{ !(it.status.name in excludedStatuses)}
  .collect{ "$it.key [$it.status.name] - $it.summary"}
  .join('<br>')

Let me try to explain what's going on there...

1) 2 or the imports were not used /not necessary

2) I defined a couple of variables that you can easily add/remove status and link types that you have business logic on

3) findAll{ it.issueLinkType in includeLinkTypes } will filter the links to include only those that match the "Depends" link type (or any other you decide to add to the variable later)

4) .destinationObject takes the filtered list and returns a collection of destinationObject issues

5) another .findAll to filter the list of destinationObject (I.e. issues) to only include those that are not in the list of excludedStatuses

6) collect will take all the remaining items and return them as a collection of strings

7) and finally, we join all those issues with <br> in between to return one large HTML string.
