How to add project to custom field's context using Script Runner

ARM Ltd. (old a

I am wondering if anyone had an experience of Custom Field context manipulations using Script Runner?

I have context named "AAA Bug Configuration" in 48 custom fields and 5 Projects added to that context.

Now I need to add additional 4 projects to the same context.

I don't want to walk through all 48 CF's and add them to the list manually.

Is there any way to automate somehow this - it is quite huge and unpleasant work actually smile

Normally you would avoid that by using the "Copy Project" script, which will add it to all those contexts.

I do have examples of it, but piecing it together is going to be at least as hard as doing it manually. If you can, I'd delete those projects and recreating them by copying an existing one.

The problem is that 4 projects are have a lot of issues in them and it will be quite problematic to delete and create them again. So I would like to add them to the existing context some kind automatically rather than manually.

I currently have the same problem.

I have a Jelly script that did this for JIRA 4.1. We now migrated to JIRA 6.2 and the script seems not to work properly now.

The script uses class FieldConfigSchemeManager and method updateFieldConfigScheme(FieldConfigScheme newScheme, List<JiraContextNode> contexts, ConfigurableField field).

Current bug:
The list of projects within each context has 2 parts: first are the projects listed, which are NOT selected for this context and then follows the second part with all the selected projects.

When I run the script the project which should be added to the context is listed TWICE in the list of projects in the context:

in part 1 (but it is marked as selected)
AND in part 2 (of course also marked as selected).

In fact, the project is not added correctly to the context. If I look at list of customfields, the new project is not listed at the relevant fields. And if I rerun the script and check for the existing projects in the context prior adding any project, the project is also not in the list.

If I deselect manually the project in part 1 and store the change, everything is fine - but that is not the purpose of a script smile

If you accept a solution with Jelly script (or you would "translate" to Groovy) we might share experience in locating the problem of the script.

Hi I will be happy to have a look to script and see how it can be translated or changed to be improved. By the way I have requested Atlassian Support for help and they raised a Suggestion if you would like to have a look - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-41736 Regards, Areg

Hi Areg,

I run this on JIRA 6.2. To adapt to your test environment you will need to replace the id of the customfield (value 10401 in line 13) and the id of the project that should be added (value 10100 in line 22).

Fieldconfiguration before running the script:

2015-01-22 09_04_32-Modify configuration scheme context.png

The script should add project VSG-Test (id 10100) to the context. After running the script context appears as:

2015-01-22 09_07_46-Modify configuration scheme context.png

As you can see VSG-Test appears twice. And it is not really added to the context.

In the view of all customfields project VSG-Test does not appear as project in context.
If I deselect the first VSG-Test entry and store the change, everything seems to be fine.

Here the output of the Jelly script from its run:

2015-01-22 09_06_49-Jelly Runner.png

It looks as if the ProjectContext for the project 10100 is added correctly to the list.

Could not yet figure out, what is going wrong here.

Hi Areg,

I created according Groovy script for Script Runner, but it shows the same problem as the Jelly script ...

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.ConfigurableField;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.config.FieldConfigScheme;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.config.manager.FieldConfigSchemeManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.FieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.context.ProjectContext;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.context.JiraContextNode;
import java.util.ArrayList;
    CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
    FieldConfigSchemeManager fieldConfigSchemeManager = ComponentAccessor.getFieldConfigSchemeManager();
    FieldManager fieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getFieldManager();
    
    ArrayList&lt;CustomField&gt; customFields = new ArrayList&lt;CustomField&gt;();
    
    customFields.add(customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(10401L));
    
    ProjectContext newProjectContext = new ProjectContext(10100L);
    
    for (customField in customFields) {
        println customField.getId();
        List&lt;FieldConfigScheme&gt; fieldConfigSchemes = customField.getConfigurationSchemes();
        
        FieldConfigScheme firstScheme = fieldConfigSchemes.get(0);
        
        List&lt;JiraContextNode&gt; existingSchemes = firstScheme.getContexts();
        JiraContextNode newContextNode = (JiraContextNode) newProjectContext;
        
        List&lt;JiraContextNode&gt; updatedSchemes = new ArrayList&lt;JiraContextNode&gt;();
        for (scheme in existingSchemes) {
            updatedSchemes.add(scheme);
        }
        updatedSchemes.add(newContextNode);
        
        fieldConfigSchemeManager.updateFieldConfigScheme(firstScheme, updatedSchemes, (ConfigurableField) customField);
        
    }
    fieldManager.refresh();

I finally found the problem:

At the end of the script the refresh() method needs to be from CustomFieldManager NOT FieldManager.

I learned that from CopyProject script code from Script runner - thanks, Jamie. See also hint below.

I.e. the following script does the job:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.ConfigurableField;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.config.FieldConfigScheme;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.config.manager.FieldConfigSchemeManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.FieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.context.ProjectContext;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.context.JiraContextNode;
import java.util.ArrayList;
    CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
    FieldConfigSchemeManager fieldConfigSchemeManager = ComponentAccessor.getFieldConfigSchemeManager();
    FieldManager fieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getFieldManager();
    
    ArrayList&lt;CustomField&gt; customFields = new ArrayList&lt;CustomField&gt;();
    
    customFields.add(customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(10401L));
    
    ProjectContext newProjectContext = new ProjectContext(10100L);
    
    for (customField in customFields) {
        println customField.getId();
        List&lt;FieldConfigScheme&gt; fieldConfigSchemes = customField.getConfigurationSchemes();
        
        FieldConfigScheme firstScheme = fieldConfigSchemes.get(0);
        
        List&lt;JiraContextNode&gt; existingSchemes = firstScheme.getContexts();
        JiraContextNode newContextNode = (JiraContextNode) newProjectContext;
        
        List&lt;JiraContextNode&gt; updatedSchemes = new ArrayList&lt;JiraContextNode&gt;();
        for (scheme in existingSchemes) {
            updatedSchemes.add(scheme);
        }
        updatedSchemes.add(newContextNode);
        
        fieldConfigSchemeManager.updateFieldConfigScheme(firstScheme, updatedSchemes, (ConfigurableField) customField);
        
    }
    customFieldManager.refresh();

Another hint: if you need a more general or more flexible approach have a look at the source code of the built-in script "Copy Project" from script runner. E.g. that code handles several configurations for 1 customfield, while code above is limited to 1 (first) configuration.

@Clemens Luebbers Hi, Do you know how to set

GlobalIssueContext to false ?

Thanks,

Kiran.

M Vijay Kumar

Hi,

We are still facing the issue; Were you able to resolve the issue?

Thanks,

Vijay

Tomáš Vrabec_mlkuef

Script runner "Copy Project" will copy also the Custom Field Context.

Helmy Ibrahim _Adaptavist_

Hi @Jonnada Kiran

You could do something like this:

for (scheme in existingSchemes) {
    if (!scheme.projectId){
        continue
    }

    updatedSchemes.add(scheme)
}
