Pre-Populate Jira field using java script

[Mizan]

Hi All,

I want to prepopulate the jira security level field based on user roles/group . Can someone please provide me a sample java script which does something similar ?

Thanx in advance :)

Here is my shot at it. I wanted to attempt it after I saw your question in my previous post.

There might be an easier way or you probably figured it out yourself. But have a look if you haven't ;)

Thank you .. Its a really helpful tutorial :)

You need to use rest - see http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#id2475676.

Can we use velocity and javascript together ? like #if ($authcontext.user.inGroup('developers'))...I dont know much about using rest .

[JamieA]

Yeah you can do that but if you want to use velocity you need to create a new custom field type, or hack the existing ones. The javascript solution is less invasive.

I am able to set the security level using javascript in the field description , however i am not able to check the group of the current user . How can i get the current users group in my script ?

thanx :)
