ScriptRunner Script Field Showing Content as Link

gil

Is it possible to do the following in the JIRA ScriptRunner Scripted Field:

* This script field it does some computation and shows a value, say issue-1.

* But the content is shown as a link on the JIRA issue view screen.  Behind the scene, the content would be <a href="www.sample.com">issue-1</a>.

* Then I should be able to search the issue by this 'issue-1' value.

Hello Gil.

This is weird but I've posted an answer to this question before and it hasn't appeared.

As I said in my previous answer, yes, this is totally possible.

You simply need to select a different template from the scripted field configuration screen: the HTML template

Afterwards, just make sure that your HTML is returned as a string like so:

return "<a href=\"www.sample.com\">issue-1</a>".

Also, if you are going to search by it, make sure that you are manually indexing the issue like my coworkers have said before. You will need to use a custom listener, but be careful, because manually re indexing after every calculation using a listener will have a performance impact in your instance.
