Script Runner Condition to Show Specific Screen

DerivcoITServer

Hi,

I am using the script runner plugin to clone an issue to a specific project based on the value of a custom field.

By using a transition screen I can allow the user to enter new mandatory parameters required to create the issue in the new project. All statuses can transition to this status.

I can specify a transition screen in my workflow but this will mean the same screen will be shown all the time.

How can show different transition screens based on the value of my custom field? So that a new transition screen can be shown to create an issue for different projects.

You can use Behaviours to modify the visible/required fields on a screen. You can use a scripted transition to limit the behaviour to a particular workflow step, so that it's only applied on the relevant transition screen. You could add an initialization script to a behaviour with something like

if (getActionName() == "Transfer Ownership") {
    def fieldToHide = getFieldByName("Some custom field I wish to hide")
    def fieldToRequire = getFieldByName("Some custom field I wish to require")
    fieldToHide.setHidden(true)
    fieldToRequire.setRequired(true)
}

Notably, that would require you to add to the workflow transition screen. If you only wanted that field to show up for that particular transition (and no other transitions), you could do something like:

def fieldsThatOnlyShowOnSomeTransition = ["Field A", "Field B", "Field C"]
fieldsThatOnlyShowOnSomeTransition.each{ fieldName ->
    boolean includeFieldX = getActionName() == "Start Progress"
    def fieldX = getFieldByName(fieldName)
    fieldX.setHidden(includeFieldX)
}

Which can be a little more readable and maintainable for a large number of fields. It's also easier to adjust if the parameters that determine whether a given field should show are more complex than simply "Are we in some particular workflow step?"
