Jira report property set default value dynamically

Question

Hello, I want to dynamically set the default value of a property in my report plugin. In particular I want to set it as currentProject* (last project viewed by user). Sample code: projectid report.cs.project report.cs.project.description select ??? Is there any --direct (set the default value) or --indirect way (custom property, custom ValuesGenerator,...) to achieve it? Thank you in advance, Peter. Note: a similar question was asked on atlassian forums. * should be as in API

Does the code actually show you a single project? I am trying to so the same thing but my code lists all the projects in JIRA not the selected project. Did you change anything to atlassian-plugin.xml?

Well, the below code works for me, you may like to give a try - import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.List; import java.util.Map; import org.apache.log4j.Logger; import com.atlassian.configurable.ValuesGenerator; import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User; import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor; import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project; import com.atlassian.jira.security.JiraAuthenticationContext; import com.atlassian.jira.user.UserProjectHistoryManager; public class ProjectValuesGenerator implements ValuesGenerator { private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(ProjectValuesGenerator.class); @Override public Map getValues(Map map) { Map params = new HashMap(); JiraAuthenticationContext authenticationContext = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext(); User loggedInUser = authenticationContext.getLoggedInUser(); //Get the project UserProjectHistoryManager userProjectHistoryManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponentOfType(UserProjectHistoryManager.class); Project selectedProject = userProjectHistoryManager.getCurrentProject(10, loggedInUser); params.put(selectedProject.getId().toStrin (),selectedProject.getName()); return params; } }

Naren, thanks for the quick response. I decided to implement like this: package ****; import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor; import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project; import com.atlassian.jira.portal.ProjectValuesGenerator; import com.atlassian.jira.ManagerFactory; import com.atlassian.jira.security.JiraAuthenticationContext; import com.atlassian.jira.security.Permissions; import com.atlassian.jira.user.UserProjectHistoryManager; import com.opensymphony.user.User; import org.apache.commons.collections.map.ListOrderedMap; import org.apache.log4j.Logger; import org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue; import java.util.Collection; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; public class MSIProjectValuesGenerator extends ProjectValuesGenerator { private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(MSIProjectValuesGenerator.class); public Map getValues(final Map params) { final User u = (User) params.get("User"); // BUG this user is wrong - the params are being cached somewhere. try { final Collection projectGVs = ManagerFactory.getPermissionManager().getProjects(Permissions.BROWSE, u); final Map projects = ListOrderedMap.decorate(new HashMap(projectGVs.size())); JiraAuthenticationContext authenticationContext = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext(); com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User loggedInUser = authenticationContext.getLoggedInUser(); UserProjectHistoryManager userProjectHistoryManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponentOfType(UserProjectHistoryManager.class); Project selectedProject = userProjectHistoryManager.getCurrentProject(10, loggedInUser); //log.info("projects is " + projects); projects.put(selectedProject.getId().toString(),selectedProject.getName()); //log.info("projects is " + projects); for (final Object element : projectGVs) { final GenericValue project = (GenericValue) element; //log.info("project.getLong(\"id\").toString() is " + project.getLong("id").toString()); projects.put(project.getLong("id").toString(), project.getString("name")); } //log.info("projects is " + projects); return projects; } catch (final Exception e) { log.error("Could not retrieve project values for this user: " + u.getName(), e); return null; } } }
