How Convert Summary Field to a dropdown?

Shah Baloch

Is it possible to convert the Jira software project summary field to a dropdown with predefined options? We have a purchasing project, we would like to have the standard name in the summary field. for example, whenever a user types something it should display possible options that the user can choose. Like when the user type "Windows" it should display all option that contains windows, for example, Windows Operating System, Windows Licensing, etc. Our goal is to map each summary with a code that can be displayed in a custom field. But that'll be the second step. First, we would like to have the Summary dropdown but all options that we have for users. If it was one option I could easily add it by using the setFormValue command but there will be more values and we don't have any default value, the values should populate when the user starts typing. Is it doable?

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

def summary = getFieldById("summary")
summary.value(["Windows Licensing","Application Training","Lenovo Laptops"])

Thank you for your help.

I'm not sure how advisable it is, but it's possible:

def options = [
  "" : "Select a value...", //if you want to default to no selection, otherwise, the first option will be selected
  "Windows Licensing" : "Windows Licensing",
  "Application Training" : "Application Training",
  "Lenovo Laptops" : "Lenovo Laptops"
]

def summary = getFieldById('summary')
summary.convertToSingleSelect().setFieldOptions(options)

You can refer to the Select List Conversion documentation for other options such as getting the options from ajax.

But in short, the "left side" or key of each map entry in the options is the value that will be stored/visible in the ticket when the issue is created and the "right side" or value is what will be visible in the drop down.

So that first option will fail any validation for required field.

You could add extra information on the right-side if that will help your users.

Then you are free to react to the summary field change with a separate script and have other logic based on which value was selected (left-side of the option).

E.g.

def summary =getFieldById('summary')

if(summary.value == 'Lenovo Laptops'){
 //do stuff here like show/hide certain fields or set default value to other fields
}

Hi, @PD Sheehan thank you for your response. I added the script in Behaviour and mapped a project, however, the screen gets frozen when I click on create issue button. I have to remove the project and refresh or close the page in order to unfreeze the screen. Any idea why it is happening?

I tried the ajx option from the Rest EndPoints but couldn't figure it out. The below script I tried from Rest Endpoints but it didn't work. I know it's not correct. Can you please help

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.rest.common.CustomEndpointDelegate
import groovy.json.JsonBuilder
import groovy.transform.BaseScript
import javax.ws.rs.core.MultivaluedMap
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response
 
@BaseScript CustomEndpointDelegate delegate

 eventTypes(httpMethod: "GET") { MultivaluedMap queryParams ->
    def rt = [footer: 'Please select product name']

    
    def options = [

  "" : "Select a value...", //if you want to default to no selection, otherwise, the first option will be selected

  "Windows Licensing" : "Windows Licensing",

  "Application Training" : "Application Training",

  "Lenovo Laptops" : "Lenovo Laptops"

]

def summary = getFieldById('summary')

summary.convertToSingleSelect().setFieldOptions(options)

}

Thank you

You are mixing apples and organges here...

If you want to define a custom rest endpoint to use in a selectListConversion, you have to do that in the Rest Endpoint section of scriptrunner.

That rest endpoint script would serve only 1 purpose, output your list of options. If you're going to do that, you need to follow the format prescribed in the documentation.

Here is a what your rest endpoint script might look like:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.rest.common.CustomEndpointDelegate
import groovy.json.JsonBuilder
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

import javax.ws.rs.core.Response

@BaseScript CustomEndpointDelegate delegate

eventTypes(httpMethod: "GET") { MultivaluedMap queryParams ->
    def options = ['Windows Licensing', 'Application Training', 'Lenovo Laptops']

    String query = queryParams.getFirst("query") ?: ''
    def rt = [footer: 'Please select product name']
    rt.items = options.collect { option ->
        [
value: option,
label: option,
html : (query) ? option.replaceAll(/(?i)$query/) { "<b>${it}</b>" } : option
        ]
}
    rt.total = options.size()
return Response.ok(rt).build()
}

This will return your 3 options in a format expected by the selectListConversion with ajax option.

Then in your behaviour (in the initializer script):

def summary = getFieldById('summary')
summary.convertToSingleSelect([
   ajaxOptions: [
      url: "$baseUrl/rest/scriptrunner/latest/custom/enventTypes",
      query: true,
      format: 'general'
   ]
])

Note that with this, you can't use summary.setFormValue('some default value').

If you need to programmatically control the selected value of the drop-down field, your values have to be controlled manually with "setFieldOption" rather than dynamically via the ajaxOptions
