How do I add a label as part of the workflow transition?

Sorin Sbarnea (

I am looking for a simple way to label an issue as part of the workflow action.

We are planning to remove the "Reopened" Status, and keep only the Open one but some people do still want to be able to findout if a an issue was reopened.

Extra Kudos if this can be implemented without requiring another plugin.

Note: that's adding a new label, not overriting all existing lables with "reopen" one!

Hi Sorin,

You can add a label on transition by writing a post function using script runner plugin.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.label.LabelManager
 
def user = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.getLoggedInUser()
 
LabelManager labelManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(LabelManager)
def labels = labelManager.getLabels(issue.id).collect{it.getLabel()}
labels += 'labelToBeRemoved'
labelManager.setLabels(user,issue.id,labels.toSet(),false,false)

Hope this helps.

Why not using simply a filter to identify those reopened issue

status changed from xxx to open

Couldn't this just be:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
  
def user = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext?.getLoggedInUser()
  
def labelManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(LabelManager)
labelManager.addLabel(user,issue.id, "my-new-label", false)

JamieA

that is, use addLabel, rather than set all labels.

Also, it's a bit confusing that in your example you're adding a called called: labelToBeRemoved!

Vijay Khacharia

Yes Jamie, I agree

Problem is with copy paste. I am using the script to remove so i just changed - to + and pasted it here.

I do find this approach quite interesting but I am afraid that is does not work as expected. I am looking for a way to indetify reopened issues. If the workflow does not have new you cannot do

NOT (status changed from New to Open) and status = Open

If you have any other ideas it would be more than happy to hear them.

Udo Brand

So what are the possible 'reopen' transitions? From which status do they start? Lets say you have status Resolved and Closed from where you could reopen your issue, then the filter you use to identify reopened issues would be:

status changed from Resolved to open or status changed from Closed to open

JamieA

"status changed to Open" - doesn't that work?

Udo Brand

Yes, it does - unless there is a transition from open to open.

@JamieA, thank you, your code helped me a lot!
