Current user value exported in xml

[Kevin Sermon]

We are exporting JIRA issues in an xml format, to be able to process it with XSLT afterwards.

However, we would need the user exporting the data to be included in the xml export.

We tried several options, but none seem to work:

<currentUser>$!{Username}</currentUser>
<currentUser1>$currentUser</currentUser1>
<currentUser2>$!{currentUser}</currentUser2>
<currentUser3>currentUser()</currentUser3>
<currentUser4><![CDATA[(User)ActionContext.getSession().get(DefaultAuthenticator.LOGGED_IN_KEY);]]></currentUser4>
<currentUser5>#xmlEscape($currentUser)</currentUser5>
<currentUser6>javascript:user()</currentUser6>
<currentUser7><![CDATA[javascript:user()]]></currentUser7>

How should we adapt the searchrequest-xml-header.vm file to include the current user exporting?

Thank you very much for your answer.

Try this:

<currentUser>$!{authcontext.getUser().getName()}</currentUser>

This comment lists the available objects in the velocity context. It might be helpful as a reference.

Thank you, that works!
