Hi All, I've been tasked to set a customfield with Javascript. Back story is that i want to query an API via javascript and then get the return values to set the customfields in the create screen so it "Auto-populates" certain customfield. Im currently having difficulties, just setting the customfield field with free text. The current code i have is jQuery(document).ready(function($) { JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e,context) { setDefaultValues(); }); setDefaultValues(); function setDefaultValues(){ setFieldValue(); } function setFieldValue(){ $("#customfield_13600").val('Test'); }); But it doesn't seem to set the customfield to "Test". Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Pon

Hi @[deleted] Could you try this , maybe it can help you. AJS.$("##customfield_13600").val("default value"); summuryField.hide();

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Hi All,

I've been tasked to set a customfield with Javascript.

Back story is that i want to query an API via javascript and then get the return values to set the customfields in the create screen so it "Auto-populates" certain customfield.

Im currently having difficulties, just setting the customfield field with free text.

The current code i have is

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
 JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e,context) {
 setDefaultValues();
 });
 setDefaultValues();

function setDefaultValues(){
 setFieldValue();
}

 function setFieldValue(){

$("#customfield_13600").val('Test');

 

});
</script>

But it doesn't seem to set the customfield to "Test".

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi @Nadir MEZIANI,

Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately this did not work

Hi @[deleted]

Sorry ,

AJS.$("#customfield_13600").val("default value");

</script>

could you share here screenshots?

Hi,

$("#customfield_13600").val('Test');

The above won't work because the free text value is in form of an input and it's panel is inactive in idle mode (unless you double click and a text box appears)
so the id, customfield_13600 does't exist yet.

Use the following:

AJS.$("#customfield_13600-val").text("Test Test Test")

Hi @Nadir MEZIANI,

Ahh its working with:

<script type="text/javascript">

AJS.$("#customfield_13600").val("default value");

</script>

Thank you so much for your help!

i really appreciate it.

Cheers,

Hi Pon,

I'm just starting on Jira development projects. I've worked with JS for a few years, but have nil experience working with JS in Jira (Server).

I need to be able to do the same thing as you have discussed in this post - my edits need to be specific to tasks of a particular type.

How do you attach the javascript in the first place? Do you have any good beginners guide reading and simple examples of how to make this work?

Have you had to install any plugins from the marketplace in order to get this to work?

Thanks,

Steve

You could add javascrip scripts in description of field , or in the banner or as a web resource in a plugin or using live field of power script for Jira

Stephen W

Plugging JS into each field will become a maintenance nightmare - you just want all the code located in one place.

Banner insertion sounds good, but the Banners are used for all Task types and thus cannot be targeted, so this tends to negate this option as well.

So, what is left? Just Power Script, or have I missed something?

Nadir MEZIANI

Yes maybe Plugging JS into each field will become a maintenance nightmare mostly for begginer.

Using live field of powerscript is good but it's not free , and you missed the other alternative , whici is developping a web resource plugin

Hi Everyone,

I want to change the field alignment of Jira CF to center. For that I am using below code in the field description, but it is not working. Can someone please suggest me about it.

});
</script>

Nadir MEZIANI

H @Neha Singh

If you want to align just the value , try this :

AJS.$('#customfield_18900'). parent().css('align-text','ecnter');

if you want to align label and value, try this:

AJS.$('#customfield_18900'). parent().css('margin','auto');

AJS.$('#customfield_18900'). parent().css('width','50%');
