Organizing Issues and Issue Types by Component in Release Notes Template

Jeff Dalley

I'm attempting to organize my Release Notes template so that it looks something like this:

Component

• Bug
  • Issue 1
  • Issue 2...

• Improvement
  • Issue 1
  • Issue 2...

• Task/SOP
  • Issue 1
  • Issue 2...

• Sub-task
  • Issue 1
  • Issue 2...

OR

Bug

• Component A
  • Issue 1
  • Issue 2...
    
• Component B
  • Issue 1...

Improvement

• Component A
  • Issue 1
  • Issue 2...

...

Is this possible? I know you can get all the Issues from an IssueType - but is there any way to say 'component.issueType.issues', or even 'issuetype.component.issues'.

If you have a suggestion for another direction that would be great as well.

Thanks!

The code below works for me (Jira 4.4). It's of course not the cleanest way, so feel free to refactor in the next answers.

## GET COMPONENTS FOR THE CURRENT PROJECT
#set ($components = [])
#foreach ($issueType in $issueTypes)
	#if ($issueType.issues.size() > 0)
		#foreach($issue in $issueType.issues)
			#if ($issue.componentObjects.size() > 0)
				#foreach($component in $issue.componentObjects)
					#if ($components.contains($component.name) == false)
						#set( $echoOf = $components.add($component.name))
					#end
				#end
			#end
		#end
	#end
#end
##
##
#foreach ($component in $components)
	<h3>$component</h3>
	<ul>
	#foreach ($issueType in $issueTypes)
		#if($issueType.issues.size() > 0)
			#set ($tmpIssuesArray = [])
			#foreach ($issue in $issueType.issues)
				#if ($issue.componentObjects.size() > 0)
					#foreach($issuecomponent in $issue.componentObjects)
						#if ($issuecomponent.name == $component)
							#set( $echoOf = $tmpIssuesArray.add($issue))
						#end
					#end
				#end
			#end
			
			#if ($tmpIssuesArray.size() > 0)
				<li>
				<h4>$textUtils.htmlEncode($issueType.name)</h4>
				<ul>
				#foreach ($issue in $tmpIssuesArray)
					<li>[<a href='$requestContext.canonicalBaseUrl/browse/$issue.key'>$issue.key</a>] - $textUtils.htmlEncode($issue.summary)</li>
				#end
				</ul>
				</li>
			#end
			
		#end
	#end
	</ul>
#end
