Jira Transition Query

Harsh_v2xlv7

Is it possible to hide a transition if another transition is not triggered once.

Scenario is I have 2 outgoing transition from a status In Progress(T1 and T2), I want to hide T1 until T2 is triggered once. If T2 is triggered one time then, unhide T1.

Is this achievable by condition/custom script, any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Harsh 

I am not sure if this can be achieved through checking specified transition, but I can propose a solution that checks status changes.

You can examine the previous and new status names in the issue change history. If they match, you can return a boolean "true."

Here's some sample code to get you started:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.changehistory.ChangeHistory;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.changehistory.ChangeHistoryManager;

List<ChangeHistory> changeItems = changeHistoryManager.getChangeHistories(genericIssue);

// check backwards if the status has been changed to from prevStatusName to nextStatusName
String prevStatusName = "status-before-transition"
String nextStatusName = "status-after-transition"
for (int i = changeItems.size() - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
   ChangeHistory changeItem = changeItems.get(i);

   List<GenericValue> changes = changeItem.getChangeItems();
   Iterator<GenericValue> it = changes.iterator();

   while (it.hasNext()) {
      GenericValue change = it.next();
      String changedField = change.getString("field");

      if (changedField.equalsIgnoreCase("status")) {
        String oldStatus = change.getString("oldstring");
        String newStatus = change.getString("newstring");

        if (prevStatusName.equals(oldStatus) && nextStatusName.equals(newStatus)) {
          return true;
        }       
      }
   }
   return false;
}
