Infinite loop

Question

JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e, context, reason) {
getProjectId();
AJS.$("#jira-button-link").click(function (eve) {
getFunction();
});
});

above function

While going through projects navigation and clicking on that button(the button will appear on the issue)  the function calls infinite times

While going through issues navigation and clicking on that button(the button will appear on the issue)  the function calls only one time.

i want to call one time only

Hi, @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e, context, reason) {

";
});

}
});
}

For above while calling through the project navigation in inspect getting like get function is calling repeatedely

There is one simple solution - stop trying to inject code into Jira Cloud.  It's not supported, it breaks things, usually doesn't work as intended and even if you get it right, it's probably going to break in a few weeks when your system gets upgraded.

I would very strongly recommend looking for an app that can do what you need instead of injecting hard-to-write/maintain code!
