JIRA: Export Word - Template Modifications

Richard Perez

Hello,

I am attempting to modify the single-word.vm to include Due Date in the subtasks portion of the document. Here is what I have done so far with null results:

<table class="grid" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
            <tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0">
                <td>
                    <b>$i18n.getText('issue.field.key')</b><br/>
                </td>
                <td>
                    <b>$i18n.getText('issue.field.summary')</b><br/>
                </td>
                <td>
                    <b>$i18n.getText('issue.field.type')</b><br/>
                </td>
                <td>
                    <b>$i18n.getText('issue.field.status')</b><br/>
                </td>
                <td>
                    <b>$i18n.getText('issue.field.assignee')</b><br/>
                </td>
                <td>
                    <b>$i18n.getText('issue.field.duedate')</b><br/>
                </td>
            </tr>
            #foreach ($subTask in $subTasks)
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        <a href="$baseurl/browse/$textutils.htmlEncode($encoder.encode($subTask.key))">$textutils.htmlEncode($subTask.key)</a>
                    </td>
                    <td valign="top" width="25%">
                        <a href="$baseurl/browse/$textutils.htmlEncode($encoder.encode($subTask.key))">$textutils.htmlEncode($stringUtils.abbreviate($subTask.summary, 40))</a>
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        $textutils.htmlEncode($subTask.issueTypeObject.nameTranslation, false)
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        $textutils.htmlEncode($subTask.statusObject.nameTranslation, false)
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        #if ($fieldVisibility.isFieldHidden($issue.project.getLong('id'), 'assignee', $issue.issueTypeObject.id) == false)
                            #if ($subTask.assignee) $textutils.htmlEncode($subTask.assignee.displayName) #end  
                        #end
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        $textutils.htmlEncode($subTask.duedateObject.nameTranslation, false)
                    </td>
                </tr>
            #end
        </table>

issue.field.duedate renders correctly as Due Date in the header row, but duedate.Object returns a null value or blank.

Any help or pointers to a document would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Richard,

I haven't verified, but the subtask object is probably an Issue object documented here. If you are good with Java/velocity templates and the Atlassian framework you can probably figure out the rest from there.

As a much easier alternative, you can try our plugin Intelligent Reports. It lets you design your template directly in Microsoft Word and fill it in with issue data, subtask data and more using simple point and click rules - no scripting or API to learn.
