Dependent Counter Scripted Field not displayed as custom field in issue

Question

I was tesing out some examples for Dependent Counter fields in JIRA from https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Scripted+Fields#ScriptedFields-QuickStartforExperimenting. I copy pasted some scripts into the scripted field column and saved it.

But the dependent counter custom field doesnt appear on my issue page.

Am I missing out on some step?

hello Shweta, you are getting count as 1 because you are checking for number of link types with name Cloners in your jira. Probably it always return 1 As prasad suggested, you need to get links from the issue as import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor; import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkManager; import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink; IssueLinkManager issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager(); List issueInwardLinksList = issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.getId()); int inCount=0; for(IssueLink issueLink : issueInwardLinksList) { if(issueLink != null && issueLink.getIssueLinkType().getName().equals("Cloners")) { ++inCount; } } List issueOutwardLinksList = issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.getId()); int outCount=0; for(IssueLink issueLink : issueOutwardLinksList) { if(issueLink != null && issueLink.getIssueLinkType().getName().equals("Cloners")) { ++outCount; } } int totalCount=inCount+outCount; return totalCount;

i think you have to use getIssueLinks(Long issueLinkTypeId) from issueLinkmanger

check this

https://developer.atlassian.com/static/javadoc/jira/5.0.5/reference/com/atlassian/jira/issue/link/IssueLinkManager.html#getIssueLinks%2528java.lang.Long%2529

Hi Jamie,

Yea you are right, I hadnt linked it with the screen..

Thanks!

I was trying to get this script to run but its not displaying the right value. I want to display the number of cloned links in a issue. BUt when I run this script I always get 1.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkType

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkTypeManager

ComponentAccessor componentAccessor= ComponentAccessor.newInstance()

Collection<IssueLinkType> issueLinkTypes=componentAccessor.getComponentOfType(IssueLinkTypeManager.class).getIssueLinkTypes();

count = 0;

for (IssueLinkType linktype : issueLinkTypes) {

String name=linktype.getName();

if(name.equals("Cloners")){

count++;

}

return count;
