Jira & Scriprunner Cloud - Set behaviour of a description field value on issue view

Question

Hey,

I want to set content for a custom wiki description field on view issue behaviour, !not creat.

I have a behaviour script which is doing well on create issue but not on view issue.

Anyone has an idea? :-)

Cheers

Thies

-----------------

// returns DescriptionFieldconst descriptionValue = getFieldById("customfield_10887").getValue();
//if (statusValue == "10716") {
  // If description field is wiki markup access the content property  if (typeof descriptionValue !== "string") {  const descriptionValueContent = descriptionValue.content.toString();
  if (!descriptionValueContent) {
      getFieldById("customfield_10887").setValue(         {   "version": 1,    "type": "doc",    "content": [     {        "type": "paragraph",        "content": [          {           "type": "text",           "text": "Beschreibung: Die Anforderungen oder die Kriterien, die der IT-Bedarf erfüllen muss."                }       ]     },      {       "type": "paragraph",       "content": [         {           "type": "text",           "text": "Beispiel: Die mobile App soll eine vertikale Ansicht des Live-Feeds für iPhone-Benutzer bieten, eine Schaltfläche zum Umschalten in die Vollbildanzeige für Desktop-Benutzer haben, einen Link zum Apple Store für Android-Benutzer enthalten und ein ansprechendes Design und eine einfache Navigation haben.",           "marks": [             {               "type": "textColor",               "attrs": {                 "color": "#4c9aff"                }              }            ]          }        ]     },      {       "type": "paragraph",       "content": [         {            "type": "text",           "text": "!Den Beschreibungstext sowie den blau hinterlegten Text bitte löschen bzw. durch eigene Inhalte ersetzten!",           "marks": [             {                "type": "textColor",               "attrs": {                 "color": "#ff5630"               }             }           ]         }        ]     }   ]  })  }  }//}

Hi Thies,

I can confirm that it is possible to set the description on the issue view (Edit screen), as in Jira cloud, the edit screen is the issue view.

You can do that using the example script named Set default text in Description field.

You will have to remove the if statement of if (!descriptionValueContent) { on line 28 and its closing bracket on line 90 in order to be able to set the value on the view screen.

Please be aware, though, that if a description value already exists on an issue, then it would overwrite it, so the old value would be lost.

This is why the comment exists in the script, recommending running it on the create screen only as a best practice.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Kristian

Hi @Tansu Akdeniz

thank you but the script doesn't work in edit screen, just in the create screen

Hi @Thies Uhlenbruch

Behaviours only work in Create/Edit screen.

On the view screen, clicking a field with a behaviour opens an Edit screen.
