Custom Issue Commented Event

Arianna Fabbri

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a custom event with template Issue Commented that is thrown (through a Script Listener) when a Issue Commented event is thrown, except for comments added by a specific user.

 

I've created the new event like:

Task Commented              => Template = Issue Commented

 

...and I've added the related Script Listener:

Project: XXX

Event: Issue Commented

Condition:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
if (comments) {
    //return comments*.authorKey[-1] == "Anonymous"
    return ComponentManager.getCommentManager().getComments(issue).last().author == "Anonymous"
} else {
    return false
}

Event: Task Commented

 

I've associated to the new event the requested notifications and then had a test.

The result is:

Task Commented notification arrives but it has no comment in it's body:

If I do the same test enabling notifications for event Issue Commented (the original one) I get the notification with the comment within it's body.

 

Why this?

How can I reach the requested result?

Thank you in advance

Regards

I actually think there is an issue here. There is a built-in script called something like "Fire a comment when..." that you can use to raise an event but only under specific circumstances.

If you choose the Issue Comment event, then the event is raised, but the vm mail templates try to get the comment from the event, but the event was raised without attaching any comment to it.

I think this is probably a bug.

Recently I posted an answer on how to use a custom script to raise an Issue Commented event that attaches the most recent comment: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/11976112. Note that my original answer is not correct, the correct answer is in a gist in the comment.
