Is the Update Issue Custom Field post function available in Jira OnDemand?

Jeff Scarsbrook

Looking at my system info, I am using Jira 5.2-m04 with my Jira OnDemand software. I have been trying to find an easy way to set the value of a custom field (User Picker) to the Current User. None of the Post Functions I have available in my transition screen will do that. While searching, I found that they added some post functions, including Update Issue Custom Field, which accepts %%CURRENT_USER%% as the value and utilizes the current user name automatically just the way I want. Unfortunately, I don't see that option in the OnDemand suite. According to comments, they also added the ability to use %%CURRENT_DATETIME%% also as another option for that post function in version 1.2.4 of Jira. It's my understanding that the 5.2-m04 version I am using for OnDemand correlates to version 1.2.4 of Jira, so I would expect it to be there. Any thoughts?

By Default, JIRA Suite Utilties plugin is disabled in onDemand. Go to Administration > Plugins > Manage Plugins and enable the plugin.

You will then see that post function.

Jobin, thank you SO much for that quick response. I was hopeful that it was going to be an easy "fix". I didn't even think to look at the plugins, since I thought something like that would be on by default. In any case, that did the trick, so thanks again! I really appreciate it!

On a related note, this now brings up another question. It looks like when you use that post function with the %%CURRENT_USER%% macro assigned to a custom User Picker field, it sets the value with the userid. Is there any way to display the Full Name field the way that the Assignee field does? I would've expected that macro to use the Full Name as opposed to the user name, since most people are used to seeing an actual name, but I guess it doesn't necessarily do that. Thanks again, though.

It depends on the custom field and not the plugin. If it is user customfield, it should show the full name.

Actually, for user picker fields, the value stored in database will be the username. So that is fine. Display should be full name though, with a link to the user profile. I don't see the attachment.
