Create a scripted field to count the number of sprints a issue is in.

Eric Wittersheim December 11, 2017

I need assistance in creating a scripted field using Scriptrunner to count the number of sprints that an Issue is in.  Can anyone help with the Groovy script or have any example of something similar?

 

Thank you for any help.

Hi Eric.

Katy gave you a very good example, and it only needed a very slight modification to make it work:

Here is the code for your custom field. I tested it this very morning:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def cf = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Sprint")
def sprints = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)
if (sprints) {
return sprints
} else {
return 0
}

Make sure to set a number searcher and template!

If this answer solved your problem, please upvote it and mark it as answered so that other users can know this has been solved. We also would love your feedback in our support revisions in the ScriptRunner Addon page.

Cheers!

We are getting somewhere but it's not working.  When I try to use your code I'm getting this error.

Daniel,

Any ideas on how I can fix those errors?

Hi Eric, 

The script that Daniel posted will return a List with the Sprints. 

So in your case you will need the size of this list. So try with this one 

import com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.sprint.Sprint
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def cf = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Sprint")
def sprints = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf) as List <Sprint>

sprints?.size()

And I suppose you have already configured the template and the searcher to be Number. 

Please let us know how this script goes. 

Regards, Thanos

Eric Wittersheim December 18, 2017

Thanks Thanos, I tried that and we are getting somewhree.  When I look at the code checker for this I see this error.

[Static type checking] - Cannot return value of type fava.lang.Object on method returning type java.lan.double

  line 6, column 12.

Hey Eric, 

I intentionally included type casting for the custom field's return value so you will not get this "false" alarm - is because of the Static Type Checking.

So I would not expect this to happen in the above script. 

Can you please double check that you configured the scripted field with 

Searcher: Number Searcher
Template: Number Field

Also did you try to preview it ?

Eric Wittersheim December 18, 2017

Yes the scripted field is using Number Searcher and Number Field.

When I preview I just noticed that for some projects I get that error during preview but others I do not.

Eric, this could be because some projects aren't agile maybe?

With such a small amount of information it's quite hard to try to diagnose your problem.

Eric Wittersheim January 15, 2018

Daniel,

I'm sorry about not getting back to you.  The project is Agile.  What other information do you need?  I just tried running it again and here is the error.

Daniel, 

Could it be how we name our sprints that is causing this?

I'm having the same issue,
my current approach is to use a calculated custom field to calculate the amount of closed sprints the card has assiged.
an then use that custom field to determine how many times the card has been rolled over into the next sprint.
'the custom field grovy script will look something like.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.sprint.Sprint
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.LazyLoadedOption

 

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def sprintFromIssue = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Sprint")
def sprints = issue.getCustomFieldValue(sprintFromIssue)
def totalOE = 0

if (sprints) {
sprints.each{
if (it.state == Sprint.State.CLOSED){
totalOE += 1
}
}
return totalOE
}

 

then I will use that field in my jql - we'll see how it goes.

I think we did something similar a while back, albeit neither in groovy or relating to the sprint field - but what we did was to first ensure that any changes to the field were logged to the change history log and then when we needed to calculate the value we iterate across the change log counting the changes to the field ... for efficiency I seem to remember writing that value to the index.

I know that seems rather involved, but sometimes you have to work around Jira rather than with it!

I have looked at that one in the past Katy but I was not able to get it working.  I'm specifically wondering if someone can help with code for the number of sprints that an issue is in .

What code have you tried?

Eric Wittersheim December 11, 2017

It is deleted now, I am new to this and don't have experience with Groovy.  When I put the code in the groovy window the coding checker flagged it with errors.  So I opened a ticket with Adaptavist and they told me to create a post here.

Hi Eric, 

We would need to see the code you tried and the errors you are referencing, then we can figure out what may be wrong. Please post it here once you have it again. 

Cheers,

Katy

Eric Wittersheim December 11, 2017

Sorry Katy, 

I don't have that anymore.

That's exactly what I need but they do not show the code, which is what I need help with.

Hi Eric, 

There seems to be a similar question here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Issues-in-several-sprints/qaq-p/342596

Does that work for you?
