Updated Field Behaviour

Edwin Ruiz

I added the Updated field to the behaviour. Can't find a way to trigger it don't know if all the functions listed in the API quick ref still work.

My question is two parts.

When is the server-side script run or how can i make it run?

Are all the functions listed in the quick ref such as:

getFieldById(fieldId)

formField.setFormValue(value)

still work?

Hi Edwin,

Yes, those still work. What are you trying to accomplish with your script? Can you post your entire script here? The server side script will be ran once when the form is loaded and then every single time the field is changed.

So I currently have this code linked to the Epic Link field. It works as intended but not firing when i want it to, which is after the user has finished making changes (hit the Update button).

What I am trying to accomplish is adding a label to (parent) epic the ticket is linked to. I currently have similar code in the workflow for when a ticket is transitioned but a workflow doesn't account for when a ticket is linked manually to an epic as that is not changing a ticket status.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption;
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.label.Label;
import com.atlassian.jira.exception.DataAccessException;

// get an issue manager to deal with issues (getting and setting fields)
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager();
def me = userManager.getUserByName("testuser")
def issue;
Set<Label> labelsSet = new HashSet<Label>();
// get value in epic link field
String epic = getFieldById("customfield_10006").getValue();
String issueKey, issuesString;
if(getActionName() == null && epic != "null"){

 issueKey = epic.substring(epic.indexOf(":")+1)

 try{
 issue = (MutableIssue) issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey(issueKey);
 } catch (DataAccessException e){
 return;
 }

 def linkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager();
 def listTickets = linkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())

 def allDone = true
 for (IssueLink link : listTickets) {
 // we only care about tickets in epic
 if (link.getIssueLinkType().getName() == "Epic-Story Link"){
 // only 1 tickets needs to not be done for the epic to not be done
 if(link.getDestinationObject().getStatus().getName() != "Done"){
 allDone = false;
 }
 }
 }

 labelsSet.addAll(issue.getLabels());

 Label epicDone = new Label(91185L, issue.getId(), "epic-done")

 if (allDone){
 labelsSet.add(new Label(91185L, issue.getId(), "epic-done"))
 }else{
 for (Label label: labelsSet) {
 if (label.getLabel() == "epic-done") {
 labelsSet.remove(label);
 }
 }

 }

 issue.setLabels(labelsSet)
 issueManager.updateIssue(me, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

}

Adding the code above to the Updated field server-side script does nothing

Hi Edwin,

It is possible I am misunderstanding, but I don't think you would want to use a behaviour in this scenario. For adding labels to a parent epic, that doesn't seem like something that needs to be done instantaneously based on what's currently on the Edit form. Further, behaviours won't work at all if someone inline edits the Epic link field from the View screen.

I think you setting up a Script Listener is what you will want. For example, you can set up a listener that listens for the IssueLinkCreatedEvent. Whenever someone edits an issue to create a new Epic link, the listener will get triggered. The script you have above would then run to add the labels to the Epic.

Does that make sense?

Regards,

Josh

Hey Josh,

Looks like that is a better route to go through. I will work on getting it to work on that event. It fires precisely when i want it to.
