Javascript files are not loading on the Pop screen of Jira 5.1

Question

Hi, we have Upgraded our jira from 4.3 to 5.1. But the Javascript files, which we had created for Jira 4.3 are not loading in the pop screen provided by Jira 5.1. is there any way to do that? As for now we have disabled the Pop up. But now we have to load some of them in workflow screen which is a absolute pop up.

You have to surround your js with something like this This works for simple scripts within the field description, like changing some layouts etc. I've not tested this with complexer ones. For a script within the announcement banner we use this }); Here is some background info: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Custom+Fields+that+use+CSS+or+JavaScript+Web+Resources+in+JIRA+5.0 Henning

Hi Vineet , are you sure the javascript is compatible with JIRA 5.1 ?

You will need to use tools like firebug to check if your script is throwing errors . If the script is compatible you might need to add some delay in the script execution. I was facing a similar issue which i got sorted out by using the setTimeout() . I added a delay of 2 sec and the script worked on the popup/modal window

hi,

We had also faced similar problem but it was only in the pop screen of "Create", so we had disabled the same using Java script in Announcement.

But in the worrkflow pop up screen, there was no problem.
