How to get a custom field values from parameters in JIRA

Michał Gawlik

I created new Custom Field and in the implementation of any methods

validateFromParams() or getSingularObjectFromString()

I would like to get the values of the other custom fields,

but the values which are just typed in the forms and not taken directly from the database

like example below:

IssueManager issueManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getIssueManager();

CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getCustomFieldManager();

Issue issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("JIRA-123");

So I have a list of all the custom fields:

List<CustomField> customFields = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects();
for (CustomField element : customFields) {
	System.out.println(
		element.getFieldName() + "\n" + element.getId() + "\n"
		+ "VALUE: " + element.getGenericValue() + "\n" 
		+ "============================="
	);
}

but I cannot see the method for getting value (getGenericValue() doesn't return it).

Do you know any solutions for it?

Hi, 

You have to pass other customfield's value as a part of your custom customfield value. How you can do that?

Use javascript to put other cf value in hidden text input with name:

name="customFieldId.id:1"

then in your CF in method getValueFromCustomFieldParams you can extract this value like here:

relevantParams.getValuesForKey(1)

Hope it was helpful.

Cheers,
