Javascript Code in ScriptRunner-Behaviours ?

Question

To address the delay in response caused by two dependent custom fields in Jira,
Here the question is: "How can I execute the JavaScript code within ScriptRunner Behaviours to manage the loader option, considering that two custom fields are interdependent?"

Radek, you can actually use Fragments and Groovy, to write JavaScript in scriptrunner. You only need to pass the JavaScript or html to the writer.write function. I’ve built lots of custom web panels using this approach. writer.write(“”” ”””) // all this happens in the write function 🤫🤔

Thanks for your reply @Radek Dostál

I've established two custom fields with interdependencies, and for the initial field, I'm using a Groovy script to invoke an API. However, due to a delay in the API response, I'm looking to implement a loader icon or spinner. My current approach involves executing JavaScript code within the Groovy script to keep a loader icon.

Alternatively, if you have any other suggestions for incorporating a loader icon or spinner, I'm open to exploring alternate approaches.

"What?" What delay.

You don't run js directly off behaviours. They do "trigger certain javascript" on issue forms, but you are writing groovy scripts, not javascript.
