Jira JDVP plugin 2.0 and higher won't do AJAX lookup

John Price

I am using the Jira Database Values plugin for several custom fields. We are on Jira 5.1. After upgrading the plugin to 3.0, the AJAX search no longer works. I suspect it may be related to the HTML for the rendering.editpattern. I've also tried this on my test Jira which is on 5.2. Results are:

JDVP 1.4 - works fine.

JDVP 2.0 - broken.

JDVP 3.0 - broken.

Here is my rendering.editpattern:

{0}<span class="informal" style="color: grey;"><br />Title: {2}</span><span class="informal" style="color: grey;"><br />Status: {4} / Visit Date: {5}</span><span class="informal" style="color: grey;"><br />Owner: {3} / Tower Id: {1}</span>

It used to show the ID field (field 0) in the text box, and the AJAX list showed the other fields nicely formatted. But now it looks like the picture:

Anyone have any ideas?

If it helps, the HTML being rendered in the broken version looks like this:

<input aria-haspopup="true" aria-autocomplete="list" role="textbox"
    autocomplete="off" id="databasevalues_customfield_10920" name=
    "_customfield_10920" class="ui-autocomplete-input" size="50" value=
    "29896<span class=\" style="\"color:" type="text"><br>
    Title: AL0036 - Coker Site Audit 1<span class="\"informal\""
    style="\"color:"><br>
    Status: Closed / Visit Date: 11/08/2012</span><span class=
    "\"informal\"" style="\"color:"><br>
    Owner: Kim Koesy / Tower Id: AL0036</span>"/>

Thanks!

The plugin developer has fixed all these issues as of plugin version 3.2, available at https://bitbucket.org/wimdeblauwe/jdvp/src/69cbf7aa1e2a443ca04817ff1216e21e42027918/releases/?at=master

We tested extensively with multiple fields in Jira 6.2 and it's working great now. Note however that more elaborate HTML in the view/edit patterns may not work anymore (specifically span tags). We were able to use italic and bold tags along with line breaks to get the effect we wanted.
