In JMWE can Calculated be used with Components?

Mark Williams_svuh32

I am trying to use Calculated with Components to give me the correct project to clone the ticket to. However, it keeps failing.  Here is the code I found to try. I noticed the code was for custom fields, can a system field such as Components be used?

 

switch (issue.getAsString("Components"))
{
Answer "a": return Project "A"
Answer "B": return Project "B"

}

Hi @Mark Williams 

first of all, that code snippet (which is actually syntactically incorrect) is based on Groovy, which is used only on Jira Server/DC. On Jira Cloud, JMWE uses Nunjucks.

Also, the problem is that the Components field is a multi-valued field (i.e. you can have more than one component selected). What would you like to happen in that case? Calculate the destination Project based on the first component selected? Or are you certain there will never be more than one component selected?

If that is the case, you can use something like this:

{%switch issue.fields.components | first | field("name")%}
{%case "Project A"%}
PA
{%case "Project B"%}
PB
{%endswitch%}

where "Project A" is the component name, and "PA" is the project key of the corresponding project.
