How to hide system elements (voters)

Alik_ywl3tv

Hi all,

I want to hide only voters information from issues (my jira instance version 7.12) and I find out a lot of variants to perform that, but all of variants are not working. 

1. First method to inject ajax calls in jira. Problem in that, I haven't power script plugin in my instance. There are anyway to inject ajax calls with other methods or with script runner ?

AJS.$("#view-voter-list").parent().parent().hide();
AJS.$("#view-voters").hide();
AJS.$("#toggle-vote-issue").hide();

2. To use groovy build in script - Hide UI Element Built-In Script. I have groovy script plugin and tried to do that but something went wrong and voters already appear in issue view screen. Other elements like clone, duplicate and etc. are manageable via this script

Please help to hide voters via script runner scripts or with other methods.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Alik

Hi Alik,

I understand that you want to be able to hide the votes on Jira issues in your Jira Server 7.12 version.  It is possible for you to do this, even without Scriptrunner.  Jira Server has an announcement banner, which will let you include HTML or scripts that can be used on all Jira pages.  This feature is not available in Jira Cloud.

In your case you could use this as a means to hide voters from the page for all users.  I have found though that the elements on the page have changed in Jira server over time.  For example, you can hide this watcher's field in 7.12.3 with a script such as:

<!-- Hides votes field Jira 7.12 -->
<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.toInit(function(){
AJS.$('#peoplemodule.module.toggle-wrap > div.mod-content > ul.item-details:not(#peopledetails) > li > dl:nth-child(1)').hide();
});
</script>

 

However I found that this script doesn't work as well for Jira 8.7.1 because the elements have changed a bit.  For example, the script in that version would have to be:

<!-- Hide votes field Jira 8.7.1 -->
<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.toInit(function(){
AJS.$('#peoplemodule.module.toggle-wrap > div.mod-content > div.item-details:not(#peopledetails) > dl:nth-child(1)').hide();
});
</script>

 

Please note that while customizations of this nature in the announcement banner can hide elements on the page, it does not restrict end users from being able to see this information in other locations, such as via the REST API.

As for the Scriptrunner aspects, well I have to admit, I am not well versed in using that particular function of that add-on.

 

But aside from the above approach of customization, have you considered adjusting the permission scheme of this project as a means to control this?  Just in case you did not know, Jira permission schemes can be customized to only permit allowed users to "View voters and watchers".  This is details in Managing project permissions.  The advantage of this approach is that you can restrict which projects in Jira would show watchers and voters to users or groups of users.  The limitation here is that this controls who views both voters and watchers.  So perhaps you do not want to restrict users from seeing watchers via permissions here, then this method might not be ideal.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about either approach here.
