Getting issuetype base on its name (not ID)

[Mateusz Szafarz]

Can you help me with getting IssueType object base on its name and not ID as in com.atlassian.jira.config.IssueTypeManager:getIssueType method? I have no idea how to do it. Do i have to get all issue types and then retrive specific type from returned collection?

try with this code

int issueTypeID = -1;
Collection<IssueType> issueTypes = ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager().getAllIssueTypeObjects();
for (Iterator<IssueType> itr = issueTypes.iterator(); itr.hasNext();) {
	IssueType tmpIssueType = (IssueType) itr.next();
	if ((tmpIssueType.getName()).compareToIgnoreCase("Defect")) {
		issueTypeID = Integer.parseInt(tmpIssueType.getId());
		break;
	}
}
