Can I link my custom web item (Button) to a Jira Screen?

[Dylan Chrispin]

I have created a custom web item in the form of a button using script fragments.

I require this button when clicked to load a Jira screen that is not set to any of the default actions (Create, Edit or View). 

In theory this shouldn't be too hard as the feature described works with workflow transitions however I can not seem to get anything to work or find anything on the internet.

Does anybody have a solution that will allow me to link my button to a screen?

This will depend on the target system you are trying to connect. They may have different ways of accepting un/pw.

If it's basic authentication then something like this may work:

import groovyx.net.http.ContentType
import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
import groovyx.net.http.Method

def url ="the url of the system your want to connect to: e.g htts://jira.example.com"
def endpoint = "the endpoint path e.g. /rest/2/issue/XXX-123"
def un = "username"
def pw = "password"
def encoded = "$up:$pw".toString().bytes.encodeBase64().toString()
def returnResponse 
def httpBuilder = new HTTPBuilder(url)
try{
   httpBuilder.request(Method.GET, ContentType.JSON) {
      headers."Authorization" = "Basic $encoded" 
      uri.path = endpoint
      response.success = { response, json ->
         if (json) {
            returnResponse = json
         }
      }
      response.failure = { resp, data ->
         if (data) {
           returnResponse = [error: "Failed to make http request to $url/$endpoint", statusLine: resp.statusLine, data: data]
         } else {
            returnResponse = [error: "Failed to make http request to $url/$endpoint", statusLine: resp.statusLine]
         }
      }
   }
} catch(e){
   returnResponse = [error: "Some other error occured: $e"]
}
returnResponse

Thank you Peter-Dave. This code helps me a lot. Also i request you that how to pass the parameter in URL like "/rest/gitplugin/1.0/issues/issueId/commits?showFiles=true"

"/commits?showFiles=true"

[PD Sheehan]

You can either manually add it to the uri.path or apply a the query as a simple map object using uir.query. Like this:

uri.query = [showFiles:true]
