JIRA Cloud ScriptRunner - Modifying Issue - UI is not updating

Pavel Antonenko

I implemented script which auto-assign task for some user by executing script by ScriptRunner for Cloud.

The problem is as script modify user by async calling REST api it's done after UI shows issue, so in UI user is not updating. After resfresh off page everything is OK.

Any suggestions for workaround? I tried to sleep post-function for some time, but unsuccessfully.

Thanks in advance for any help! Scripting JIRA is cool, luckily we can do it in Cloud also now

Hi Pavel,

All add-on interaction with JIRA in the cloud is async so often the page is loaded before updates can be applied. It is a fundamental limitation with the Connect framework on which cloud add-ons are built. We do try to give an indication that the issue has been updated with a message, and when Atlassian support it we will add a button to refresh the issue on that message.

Sleeping in a post function will have no effect because JIRA does not wait for post functions to complete.

Regards, Jon
