Recently we had to answer this question at Toolbox.com. One of our developers using a Jelly listener and Groovy scripting has accomplished an amazing task. By using a Jelly listener for new tickets to a particular project to do a workflow transition to start progress, he then uses a post script function to call a groovy script in script runner to automate all the tasks that need to happen with that ticket and then close the ticket. He has written an outstanding blog about the process here: http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/devnull/groovy-development-in-jira-47311 The effort put into both doing the work and providing the information about the process is absolutely worth sharing. I hope this helps someone else out with the work they may have ahead of them.

How can adding scripting to your workflows help automate business workflows in JIRA?

How do you tell CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa to use the currently logged in user as the reporter?

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Creating Issues via direct HTML links

How do you get CreateIssueDatils!init.jspa to use the currently logged in user as the reporter? The document says it's possible doesn't doesn't explain how to do it.

I tried passing "currentUser()" as a value but that didn't work.

Hi Chad,

Nice write-up. On the blog theme, I occassionally write stuff up about scripting workflows, for example this one: Auto-transitions in JIRA Workflows

I know of a few companies that have heavily scripted workflows, and always keen to hear about anyone using groovy or scripting in general. There is a lot of docn on atlassian plugins using the maven sdk, however I think scripting has all of the power of plugins but is a lot more accessible to people who aren't necessarily programmers. So, personally I've love to see scripting get more publicity.

cheers, jamie
