Three solutions in one Jira project

[David Kon]

Our organisation uses Jira Enterprise and I was assigned a project, managed by the Corp.

Our team develops three different solutions, name them:

• Solution A
• Solution B
• Solution C

I created three different Boards each one for one solution.

In the query for each board, I set a query looking for a component with the solution's name, for example:

project = MyProject and component = "Solution A"

This way, whenever one of the developers opens a new issue and sets the component as his solution, the issue appears in the right board.

My problem is, whenever I open a new issue and the "Component" field is not present, then the issue won't appear in the right board, and you have to find the issue and set the component.

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi Ja,

I have managed to replicate your issue using Scriptrunner 3.1.4, nfeed 5.4.1 and JIRA 6.4.12.

The reason that the behaviour fails to execute is due to the fact that the nFeed field does not support being made required. This is due to the fact that the field is a field which is programmatically populated from an external data source and cannot have its data updated by a user inside of JIRA.

This means that all you can do is hide and un hide the field based on check box options using the behaviours plugin.

I have enclosed an example script below which shows how you can hide and un hide an nFeed field based on a selected option in a checkbox field.

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormField

// Get a pointer to my check box field
FormField checkBoxField = getFieldByName("DemoChecbox")

// Get a pointer to my nFeed field
FormField nFeedField = getFieldByName("DemoNfeedField")

// Get the checkbox option value as a String
def checkBoxVal = checkBoxField.getValue()

// if Option-1 was selected make the nFeed field visible
if(checkBoxVal == "Option-1"){
 nFeedField.setHidden(false)
// if any other option was selected hide the nFeed Field 
}else{
    nFeedField.setHidden(true)
}

I hope this helps
