Can we make a copy of FixVersion field as a custom field?

[Kent Chiu]

We would like to have a custom field like FixVersion where it can automatically get the list of values from the releases. It is requested by our program manager to track what are the tickets that are being proposed for a particular releases.

Is ther anyway we can copy the FixVersion field as a custom field?

E.g. Propose release custom field that are behaves just like FixVersion?

Another way to do it is to create a custom field with list of values that we have to provide list of releases as selection list. But this is not efficient and can be out of control due to increasing releases.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Kent

there was a problem with the import.

from com.atlassian.jira import ComponentManager

Here is the solution to set a customfield type Date in a post-function (python) :

from com.atlassian.jira import ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import datetime

customFieldManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getCustomFieldManager()
customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10008")

issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField, datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 29, 10, 30, 45))

Check datetime documentation for more options.

A little late answer, but in case someone else has the same problem:

I also had this problem when trying to edit an old plugin.

The reason for this is that, by default, "jira-core" has been excluded as an dependency in pom.xml.
Remove the <!-- and --> in the code below to include "jira-core".
This solved my problems.

<!-- Add dependency on jira-core if you want access to JIRA implementation classes as well as the sanctioned API. -->
<!-- This is not normally recommended, but may be required eg when migrating a plugin originally developed against JIRA 4.x -->
<!--
<dependency>
<groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>
<artifactId>jira-core</artifactId>
<version>${jira.version}</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
-->

that's why i thought it didn't look like python.

I take a look about this : https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/JSS/Scripting+Samples

It's a copy modified.

Did you write that yourself, or copy it from somewhere? That doesn't even look like jython code.
