Hide Summary Field and Populate During Ticket Creation

Morgan7

The summary field is as far as I can tell impoosible to rename for a specific project. Given that I'm using a workflow that would result in my users being confused as to what they should do with the Summary field I would like to hide it. During creation I would then like to populate it based upon other fields.

How can I do this with JIRA 6? I've seen answers for JIRA 4 which didn't really help at all, the answer provided a javascript solution which I'm not certain where that configuration would go.

Ultimately I'm looking to rename the summary field, but because I can't I'm making an attempt to work around the issue but every idea seems to be met with road blocks.

The JavaScript would go in the description of the field in a field configuration of the project. Probably the best way to do it. You can achieve similar results with the Behavior Plugin also but again requires a bit scripting.

you can use the following simple JavaScript to hide summary field and the other field value to it

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
	JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e,context) {
		callSummaryFunction();
	});
	callSummaryFunction();
	
function callSummaryFunction(){
	var issueTypeCreate = $("#issuetype-field").val();
		var issueTypeVal = $("#type-val").text();
		var issuetype=$.trim(issueTypeVal);		
		if((issuetype != null &amp;&amp; issuetype === "Bug") || (issueTypeCreate != null &amp;&amp; issueTypeCreate === "Bug")){				
			$('#summary').closest('div.field-group').hide();
			var testField=document.getElementById('customfield_13786');
			$(testField).change(function(){		
				$("#summary").val($("#customfield_13786 option:selected").text());					
			});
		}
					
}
});
&lt;/script&gt;

You can create a customField and "Inject" JavaScript there (Not nice, but works). Simple name it "NoSummaryField" and paste your JS in the customField description. Now you can add it to your createIssue Mask.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
  jQuery("label:contains('NoSummaryField')").parent().hide();
  jQuery("input#summary").parent().hide();

  jQuery("#create-issue-submit").click(function(){
    
    // TODO: fetch ur summary value here
    var summary_value = "TEST";

    jQuery("input#summary").val(summary_value);
    
  });
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;div&gt;

Worked for me on JIRA 6.0.2

In JIRA 6.3.7, JavaScript doesn't appear to work within field descriptions. It gets converted to text (html entities).

Hi Everybody,

We have a working solution for this (at least in JIRA 6.3.12) using Javascript injection and ScriptRunner postfunction you can hide the summary field and populate it with a calculated value:

Add a scriptrunner postfunction in the "create" (after the "Creates the issue originally" step):

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUsers
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
CustomField customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("First name");
String firstName = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)!=null?issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField).toString():"";
customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Last name");
String lastName = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)!=null?issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField).toString():"";
customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Office");
String office = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)!=null?issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField).toString():"";
customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Arrival date");
String arrivalDate = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)!=null?issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField).toString():"";
issue.summary = "Newcomer - "+firstName+" "+lastName+" - "+office+" - "+arrivalDate.substring(0,10)
def user = ApplicationUsers.toDirectoryUser(ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext?.getUser())
issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
issueManager.updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)

2. In the Field Configuration add in description of the Summary field the following javascript code:

&lt;div id="summaryNewCommer"&gt;
    &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
        (function($) {
            AJS.toInit(function() {
              
                var currentUrl = window.location.href;
                if (currentUrl.indexOf('/secure/admin/') == -1) {
                    AJS.$("#summaryNewCommer").parent().parent().hide();
                    jQuery("#create-issue-submit").click(function() {
                        var summary_value = "temp";
                        jQuery("input#summary").val(summary_value);
                    });
                }
            })
            JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function(e, context, reason ) {
              
                var currentUrl = window.location.href;
                if (currentUrl.indexOf('/secure/admin/') == -1 &amp;&amp; reason != 'inlineEditStarted') {
                    var $context = AJS.$(context);
                    jQuery("input#summary").val('');
                    $context.find("#summaryNewCommer").parent().parent().hide();
                    jQuery("#create-issue-submit").click(function() {
                        var summary_value = "temp";
                        jQuery("input#summary").val(summary_value);
                    });
                }
            });
        })(AJS.$);
    &lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Francois SERGOT that worked like a treat for me on JIRA v6.4.1. Only thing I had to do to get the scriptrunner postfunction script to compile was to ensure the following statement was changed from:

issue.summary = "Newcomer - "+firstName+" "+lastName+" - "+office+" - "+arrivalDate.substring(0,10)

def issue.summary = "Newcomer - "+firstName+" "+lastName+" - "+office+" - "+arrivalDate.substring(0,10)

I had to insert a 'def" keyword in front of the statement and all was good after that.

In much appreciation,

Trevor
