Assignee field: Any way to get rid of "automatic" or set currentUser as default?

Christian Czaia [Decadis AG]

Hi,

my current customer is by far not happy the way JIRA handles the assignee field. So I'm hoping one of you can help me out...

1. Has anyone achieved to get rid of the "automatic" pre-poplulation of the assignee field? Iwould need it to be either empty or prepopulated with the current user. I've achieved prepopulating a custom user picker with the current user but adapting this script (behaviours plugin) to the assignee field won't work . Using a post-function won't work either since the user should be offered the possibility to select another assignee upon issue creation.

That was my script:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager

FormField formAG = getFieldByName("Auftraggeber")       

currUser = ComponentManager.getInstance().getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser()
currUserName = currUser.getName()

if(!formAG.getFormValue()){     
 formAG.setFormValue(currUserName) 
 }

2.Is there anyway to get rid of the assign to me link right next to the field on my screen? I don't see any ponit in removing this feature, but anyway my customer wants this to be evaluated... Deactivation the issue operation "Assign to me" doesn't do the trick.

The first question is by far more important to me... (and my customer). Any ideas are being appreciated.

Cristian, can't get your point. I've checked my code in firebug - works fine.

There is no console.log in my code. Could you explaint, what's the problem?

Hello!

We've encountered a similar problem - change assignee, depending on other field. So, here is piece of javascript we use to change assignee:

function changeAssignee(value){
    var assignee = AJS.$("#assignee");
    var model = new AJS.SelectModel({
             element: '#assignee',
             removeOnUnSelect: false
         });

    JIRA.SmartAjax.makeRequest({
        url: "/rest/api/2/user", 
        data: {username: value},
        complete: function (xhr, status, response) {
            if (response.successful){
                var descriptor = new AJS.ItemDescriptor(
                {
                    value: response.data.name, 
                    fieldText: response.data.displayName,
                    label: response.data.displayName, //+ ' - ' + response.data.emailAddress + ' (' + response.data.name + ')',
                    allowDuplicate: false,
                    icon: response.data.avatarUrls['16x16']
                });

                model.setSelected(descriptor);
                assignee.trigger('set-selection-value', value);
            }       
        }
    });
}

You can put this with minor modifications in fields description to make it run each time automatically.

To get current user via javascript you use this:

var loggedInUser = JIRA.Meta.getLoggedInUser();

To get rid of Assign to me use this:

AJS.$("#assign-to-me-trigger").hide()

If you are using Behaviours plugin try the below code

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormField
 
FormField assignee = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
Object componentFormValue = assignee.getFormValue()
 
 
log.debug("-------------------assignee---"+componentFormValue)
if(componentFormValue=="Automatic"){ 
assignee.setFormValue(ComponentManager.getInstance().getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser().getName())
}

There is a system plugin "Issue Operations plugin" in that ther is a module "
View Issue Ops Bar Assign To Me Link" you will have to disable this to get rid of the asssign to me link .

Hey, that's not what I wanted. I just wanted to deactivate it on the screen. Worked with Grigory's promt...

So far I don't get the code you provided working. In the log I just see (<span>"-------------------assignee---"1</span>

Christian Czaia [Decadis AG]

Hey Grigory,

no problem so far. I'm just trying to use your code using Behaviours Plugin. I'm not a Javascript expert so it takes some time for me to figure out what your code is doing and to edit it in order to just setting the assignee to current user. The "assign to me blocking works just fine":-)

grundic

Ah, that's what the problem! My code is supposed to use as is - without Behaviours Plugin. Just paste it in field's description, as described here.

hope, it helped.

Mizan

ok , replace the if condition with the below line

if(componentFormValue=="1"){

Christian Czaia [Decadis AG]

I've also tested the other script you mentioned in your post

var value = "test1"; AJS.$("#assignee-field").val(value); AJS.$("#assignee").find(":selected").data("descriptor").model()[0].value = value;

When I change the first line to "value = JIRA.Meta.getLoggedInUser();" I get an output like this: [object Object]

I found another solution:

I combined the behaviour-plugin with javascipt and that's the only solution that works for me with JIRA v.5.1.2 to set the assignee depending on antoher field:

Here is the Behaviour-code:

FormField FieldAssignee = getFieldById("assignee") // Feld Bearbeiter
FormField FieldLeistungsklasse = getFieldById ("customfield_10503")

switch (FieldLeistungsklasse.getValue()) {
case null :
FieldLeistungsklasse.setHelpText("<script type=\"text/javascript\">var value=\"cas_admin\";\
AJS.\$(\"#assignee-field\").val(value);\
AJS.\$(\"#assignee\").find(\":selected\").data(\"descriptor\").model()[0].value=value;</script>")
break

case "XS" :
FieldLeistungsklasse.setHelpText("<script type=\"text/javascript\">var value=\"ariu001\";\
AJS.\$(\"#assignee-field\").val(value);\
AJS.\$(\"#assignee\").find(\":selected\").data(\"descriptor\").model()[0].value=value;</script>")
break

case "S" :
FieldLeistungsklasse.setHelpText("<script type=\"text/javascript\">var value=\"hube009\";\
AJS.\$(\"#assignee-field\").val(value);\
AJS.\$(\"#assignee\").find(\":selected\").data(\"descriptor\").model()[0].value=value;</script>")
break

case "M" :
FieldLeistungsklasse.setHelpText("<script type=\"text/javascript\">var value=\"winte02\";\
AJS.\$(\"#assignee-field\").val(value);\
AJS.\$(\"#assignee\").find(\":selected\").data(\"descriptor\").model()[0].value=value;</script>")
break

case "L" :
FieldLeistungsklasse.setHelpText("<script type=\"text/javascript\">var value=\"scill02\";\
AJS.\$(\"#assignee-field\").val(value);\
AJS.\$(\"#assignee\").find(\":selected\").data(\"descriptor\").model()[0].value=value;</script>")
break
}

Hi Christian,

I just came accross exactly the same issues. I want to accomplish these two exact things:

1) getting rid of the automatic value for the assignee field (instead setting it to current user)

2) getting rid of the assign to me link next to the field.

I am new to JIRA and I installed 6.2.2, which it seems it has a lot of incompatibilities (for instance there is not behavious plugin for JIRA 6.2.2 yet).

Can you help me how to accomplish those two things?

Thank you in advance

Sara Wajnberg1

Grigory, a question related to this:

I want to clear the Reporter field (so there is no prepopulated default value) on the create issue screen using Javascript in the field configuration (field description). Any idea how I would do that? I can't figure it out. Thanks!

This is a perfect and proper solution.
