I need to create/add a new field to the issue's default screen

YM_fhnyes

I would like to get an expert opinion on a dilemma I am facing.

I am using Jira V8.13.1

I need to create/add a new field to the issue's default screen .

The following is an example of what I want to achieve :

 

For example a prefilled dynamic field with alphanumeric ID similar to  SOM21001  where SOM indicates the project name 21 indicates the year and 001 indicates the dynamically incremented number that updates with every new issue. The year is incremented every twelve months and last three digits get incremented by one  for every created issue  001 002 003 …

 

I Would appreciate a detailed answer

Hi Yahya,

 

I'm a bit unclear on what exactly you want out of this - but I will go with what I think or how I understood it (I suspect that the issue screen is irrelevant as part of the question).

 

So you're looking to have an automated field, let's call it 'Dynamic Field' -- this is read-only, not to be manually tampered with, and gets a value automatically based on the calculation as you put it:

 - ${projectName}${last2digisOfCurrentYear}${issueNumber}

 

Where issue number only can have 999 values at most due to being constrained to 3 digits, starting from 001-999.

 

So far so good, sounds like either a Script Field or this could be a regular text-field provided a good post-function on the 'Create', or through perhaps an Automation rule.

I would guess the logic in it could be similar to..

 - get project object of this issue, get the project's name as "$projectName"

- get the current year's last 2 digits

- get this issue's number and format it to the 3-digit format

What if the issue's number is equal/greater than 1,000?

 

Can you list your available plugins if you already have something that could be used?

 

Thanks,
Radek
