Script runner - Store issue change history in a custom field

Question

HI All,

Could you please let me know how to store the issue change history like transition time, tansition from, tansition to and the comment to a free text field?

I guess its possible by script runner in post function. Could you please share some sample script to get this info.

Thanks,

Sanu P Soman

Hi Sanu, Below I have attached a sample script wrote for JIRA 6.4 which will get the change history information for the previous transition. This script should be placed inside a Scripted Field. Please note if you are using this on a different version of JIRA then you may need to update this slightly. import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue import com.atlassian.core.util.DateUtils // Get access to the required issue managers def componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance() def issueManager = componentManager.getIssueManager() def changeHistoryManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getChangeHistoryManager() // Get the current User def User = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser() // Get the current Issue SubjectIssue = issue // Get Change History information def currentStatus = issue.getStatusObject().getName(); def previousStatus = "In Progress" def updated = issue.getUpdated().format("HH:mm (dd MMM yyyy)") String previousTransitison = changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "status").getAt(changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "status").size() - 1).toString() // Extract the from and to statuses below String fromStatus = previousTransitison.substring(previousTransitison.indexOf("fromString="), previousTransitison.indexOf(",to=")); String fromStatusVal = fromStatus.substring(11); String toStatus = previousTransitison.substring(previousTransitison.indexOf("toString="), previousTransitison.indexOf(",created")); String toStatusVal = toStatus.substring(9); def previousTransitisonVal = fromStatusVal + " --> " + toStatusVal // Construct the format to be output def TransitionInfo = "Current Logged In User = " + User.getDisplayName() + "
" + "Last Updated Time = " + updated + "
" + "Curent Status = " + currentStatus + "
" + "Previous Transition Info = " + previousTransitisonVal return TransitionInfo Also the Issue History Plugin may be of use to you. I hope this helps Kristian

Basically I want to store transition information like current user, from status, to status and time to a unlimited free text field.
