How to know value or ID of the option ?

[Raj Domala]

Hello All,

"For Cascading Select fields, you may either use the value of the option to be selected, no need to add the parent for childs. Or simply enter the ID of the option to be selected."

In postfunction I have a Select List (single choice) custom field needed to be updated to its single option 'A' when certain transition occurs. How do I know the value or ID of that option 'A' or do I accomplish to that custom field be populated with option 'A' when the transition occurs. Please help!

Thanks!

Hi Sanu,

Below I have attached a sample script wrote for JIRA 6.4 which will get the change history information for the previous transition. This script should be placed inside a Scripted Field.

Please note if you are using this on a different version of JIRA then you may need to update this slightly.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.core.util.DateUtils

// Get access to the required issue managers
def componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance()
def issueManager = componentManager.getIssueManager()
def changeHistoryManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getChangeHistoryManager()

// Get the current User
def User = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser()

// Get the current Issue
SubjectIssue = issue

// Get Change History information
def currentStatus = issue.getStatusObject().getName();
def previousStatus = "In Progress"
def updated = issue.getUpdated().format("HH:mm (dd MMM yyyy)")
String previousTransitison = changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "status").getAt(changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "status").size() - 1).toString()
// Extract the from and to statuses below
String fromStatus = previousTransitison.substring(previousTransitison.indexOf("fromString="), previousTransitison.indexOf(",to="));
String fromStatusVal = fromStatus.substring(11);
String toStatus = previousTransitison.substring(previousTransitison.indexOf("toString="), previousTransitison.indexOf(",created"));
String toStatusVal = toStatus.substring(9);
def previousTransitisonVal = fromStatusVal + " --> " + toStatusVal

// Construct the format to be output
def TransitionInfo = "Current Logged In User = " + User.getDisplayName() + "<br/>" + "Last Updated Time = " + updated  + "<br/>" + "Curent Status = " + currentStatus + "<br/>" + "Previous Transition Info = " + previousTransitisonVal

return TransitionInfo

Also the Issue History Plugin may be of use to you.

I hope this helps

Basically I want to store transition information like current user, from status, to status and time to a unlimited free text field.

IssueService? can you please elaborate little bit?

If you want to store transition information use IssueService to make the issue undergo a transition.

i'm using below script for this but it;s not working. import com.atlassian.jira.bc.JiraServiceContextImpl import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.search.SearchService import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue import com.atlassian.jira.issue.changehistory.ChangeHistoryManager import com.atlassian.jira.security.JiraAuthenticationContext import com.atlassian.jira.web.bean.PagerFilter import com.atlassian.jira.issue.history.ChangeItemBean ChangeHistoryManager changeHistoryManager = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager() SearchService searchService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(SearchService.class); JiraAuthenticationContext jiraAuthenticationContext = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext() user = jiraAuthenticationContext.getLoggedInUser() ctx = new JiraServiceContextImpl(user) List<Issue> issues = null List<ChangeItemBean> changeItems changeItems = changeHistoryManager.getAllChangeItems(issue) log.warn (changeItems) logs = changeItems.findAll{it.getField()=='status'}{result += "${it.created}; ${it.getFrom()}; ${it.getTo()}"} log.warn (logs) IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager(); CustomFieldManager cfm=ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager(); def MeD =cfm.getCustomFieldObjectByName("StatusLog"); issue.setCustomFieldValue(MeD, String.valueOf(logs)); Any suggestions?
