how to import scriptrunner library for Jira Cloud

Arti Patil

hello,

I am writing a script using scriptrunner for Jira to add restriction on a particular date field. i am creating listener to check action but while doing so system is not able to import any of libraries and due to which i am not able work script.

My query is what will be better option a listener or behaviour? If listener then how to import library?

Hello!

Both have different use cases. A listener is suitable when you want to react to events like issue updates, while a behaviour is better for dynamically modifying fields on the creation or edit screen.

In this case, using a listener would be more appropriate for applying the restriction you mentioned. If you need help, feel free to share your script, and I’ll be happy to review it and see what’s missing.

Hi @Arti Patil Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Use SR Behaviour or SR Validator for applying restriction on a Date field while creating a new issue.
What type of restriction are you trying to apply ?

Hello!

validation is date should never be in past.

Arti Patil

this script i am using for listner but i am not able to import library, so all functions like "def" are giving error.

i am trying to put validation on date- that date should never be in past on In Progress Status.

//define custom field name

def customFieldName = "dateReview'

//get the custom object

def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName(customFieldName)

if (!customField){

log.error("Custom Field '${customFieldName}' Not Found")

return

}

//get issue from event

def issue = Event.issue

def customFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)

//check custome field value a date

if(getCustomFieldValue instanceof java.util.Date){

def currentDate = new Date()

}

//compare dates

if(customFieldValue.before(currentDate))

{

//log warning

log.warn( "the date is in past")

// throe error for another action

throw new Exception("the date cannot be past")

}

else

log.warn (" custom feild does not contain valide date")

Is this for jira cloud or server? since the tag specifies cloud but the script is server script, if you confirm me

Marcelo Ulloa

If it is for the cloud, the whole approach changes since it is different. I'll leave you something as an example:

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

def issueKey = "TEST-3"

def issueResponse = get("/rest/api/3/issue/${issueKey}?fields=customfield_XXXXX") // Replace XXXXX with custom field ID
    .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    .asString()

// Parse the response
def issueDetails = new JsonSlurper().parseText(issueResponse.body)
def customFieldValue = issueDetails.fields.customfield_XXXXX // Replace XXXXX with the custom field ID

// Check if the custom field value exists and is a valid date
if (customFieldValue) {
    def customDate = Date.parse("yyyy-MM-dd", customFieldValue)
    def currentDate = new Date()
    
// Compare the custom field date with the current date
    if (customDate.before(currentDate)) {
        logger.warn("The date is in the past.")
        throw new Exception("The date cannot be in the past.")
    }
} else {
    logger.warn("The custom field does not contain a valid date.")
}
