How do I Extract Story Points from ChangeHistoryItem (Object in Java API)

Avi Bachar

I am working on analysis of Change Log of an Issues 

and I got  into a problem.

when I try to get the From or To of Story Points log item, I am getting null.\

Why is that? and How I overcome this problem?

 

I have this function utility I wrote to DEBUG the issue (narrow the problem)

and it is the only thing I am running

 

// The Main Code
// Quite Simple - Call the utility change_log_print_field 

change_log_print_field (issue,"Story Points")
return

// end of Main code


// the utility 
// its purpose is to print all the log history of a selected field to logger
// in this case of Story Points

int change_log_print_field (Issue current_issue,String field_name){

     def HistoryOfCurrentIssue = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager().getAllChangeItems(current_issue)
     ChangeHistoryItem caught_change = null 
     int count = 0

     for (change in HistoryOfCurrentIssue ) {

          if(change.getField().toString().indexOf(field_name)>-1 )
             { 
                count = count + 1 
                log.warn "change_log_print_field: Date:"+change.created+"// Field:"+change.getField()+"// Froms:"+change.getFroms()+"// Tos:"+change.getTos()+"// User"+change.getUserKey()

          }

      } 

return count

}

 

This is a picture of a single Issue I tested from Jira issue History

 

as you can see there are values in to and froms

but in the logger this is what I get

a more focused pic of the logger

in the code, this is the class I am using to access the History Log

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.6.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/changehistory/ChangeHistoryItem.html

works fine for text but not for Story Points

Any Suggestion?

Other ways to Access History Log that works are welcome as well.

@Avi Bachar This should work. Please try and let us know.

int change_log_print_field (Issue current_issue,String field_name){

List<ChangeItemBean> allitems = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager().getChangeItemsForField(issue, field_name);
def size = allitems.size();
if(size >=1){
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++){
ChangeItemBean x = allitems.get(i);

def oldValue = x.getFrom();
def newValue = x.getTo();
def timecreated = x.getCreated();

log.warn "Field " + field_name + " changed from " + oldValue + " to " + newValue + " on " + timecreated
}

}

return size;
}
