ScriptRunner Issue Picker Field, Sort the selectable Issues on a Custom Field Value

David Harkins

We have a requirement to sort the displayed issues on a multiple issue picker field.

I've attempted adding the sort the customised JQL but still sorts be created / key with the newest at the top.

We are wanting to sort the displayed selectable issues on a custom field which contains numbers, so that the highest number is as at the top.

we already have the custom fields displayed.

renderOptionHtml = { String displayValue, Issue issue, Closure<String> highlight ->
    OutputFormatter.markupBuilder {
        i('Service Rank: ' + issue.getCustomFieldValue(OurFields.serviceRankField))
        mkp.yield(' - ')
        mkp.yieldUnescaped(displayValue)
    }
}

I would think you should be able to simply include "order by" in the JQL configuration of your issue picker field.

But I tested it and it doesn't work.

I don't think any of the customization options will let you affect the supplied list other than the JQL.

So you might need to contact adaptavist support to suggest this as a new feature (or perhaps a bug, I don't know why the order by clause in the JQL would be ignored).
