Add Screen programatically in a plugin

Question

Hi,

Is there some example of how i can add Field screens programatically in a plugin?

I want to add new screen with a lot of custom field for workflow transition in my plugin and when I change status, it will be displayed. I can not find any example of how to do this.

I am new to JIRA dev so would welcome some examples thank you in advance

Thanks Kubilay! I added new Screen in my plugin. I'm trying to add it into a transition of workflow, but it doesn't work. Can you help me to check this code below? MutableIssue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueByCurrentKey("TP-1"); WorkflowManager workflowManager = ComponentAccessor.getWorkflowManager(); JiraWorkflow workflow = workflowManager.getWorkflow(issue); Collection allActions = workflow.getAllActions(); Map metaAttributes=new HashMap(); metaAttributes.put("jira.fieldscreen.id", newScreen.getId().toString()); for(ActionDescriptor aActions : allActions){ if(aActions.getName().equals("Plan")){ aActions.setView("Waiting to test"); aActions.setMetaAttributes(metaAttributes); } }

Hi Jayce,

Welcome to the community! I think you can have a look at FieldScreenManager and FieldScreenFactory. Not actually tried but something like this might work:

FieldScreenManager fieldScreenManager;
FieldManager fieldManager;

FieldScreen newScreen = fieldScreenFactory.createScreen();
newScreen.setName("My new screen");

FieldScreenTab newTab = newScreen.addTab("New tab");
Field myField = fieldManager.getField("customfield_10000");
newTab.addFieldScreenLayoutItem(myField.getId());
newScreen.store();
