How populate template in description base on issue type?

Shah Baloch

I'm trying to add about three templates for three issue types, such as the "Story", "Task" and "Bug" issue types. When the user selects Story it adds story template or Bug then Bug template. The following is my behavior script but it's not working.

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.db.DatabaseUtil
import groovy.transform.BaseScript
@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

def issueType = getFieldById("issueType")

def desc = getFieldById("description")

def taskValue = """
h2. Please fill out the below form
* Team Name:
* Start Date: 
*End Date:
* Project(s):
* Activities:

""".stripIndent()

def storyValue = """
h2. Please fill out the below form
* Server:
* Access
* Due Date:
* Job Perform:
""".stripIndent()

def bugValue = """
h2. Please fill out the below form
* Error Code:
* First Reported:
* Whoe Reported: 
* Action Taken:
* Access Start Date:
* Estimated Resolution Date:
* Additional Info:

""".stripIndent()

if (issueType.value == "Task") {
desc.setFormValue(taskValue)
}

if (issueType.value == "Story") {
desc.setFormValue(storyValue)
}

if (issueType.value == "Bug") {
desc.setFormValue(bugValue)
}

It does not add a template to the description box. I know there is something wrong with the code but I couldn't figure it out.

Thank you for your help

First, there is no such field with id "issueType"

You can try "issuetype" but that will be a id (integer or long) of the issue type.

Generally, I prefer to get my issue type from the issueContext variable:

if(issueContext.issueType.name == "Task"){
   //your code here
}

Also, I'm a fan of using maps as data structures... try this

def issueTypeMap =[
   Task: """\
     h2. Please fill out the below form
     * Team Name:
     * Start Date: 
     * End Date:
     * Project(s):
     * Activities:
   """,
   Story: """\
      h2. Please fill out the below form
      * Server:
      * Access
      * Due Date:
      * Job Perform:
   """,
   Bug: """\
      h2. Please fill out the below form
      * Error Code:
      * First Reported:
      * Whoe Reported: 
      * Action Taken:
      * Access Start Date:
      * Estimated Resolution Date:
      * Additional Info:
   """
]

if(actionName == 'Create Issue'){
   def desc = getFieldById("description")
   def issueType = issueContext.issueType.name
   if(issueTypeMap.containsKey(issueType)){
      desc.setFormValue(issueTypeMap[issueType].stripIndent())
   } else {
      if(desc.value in issueTypeMap*.value*.stripIndent()){
         // reset the value in case an issuetype not in our map is selected, 
         // but only if the description is one of our defaults
         desc.setFormValue("") 
      }
   }
}
