Need help with injecting JS to change description in insight

Question

Hey guys,

anyone has any experience with injecting JS via announcement banner to only certain parts of the application ?

In my use case, I need to change the description in insight object Attach Files "screen".

If there is any other/better way to do this, I am more than welcome in trying it out.

Thanks

Marek

For something like this (not that this is best practice), I would use a public library like "arrive"

Then you can respond to the "arrival" of an object on screen with a line of code like:

AJS.$(document).arrive('#rlabs-attach-file .description', function(){
   this.innerHTML = "Your custom description";
   this.borderStyle = 'solid';
   this.borderColor = 'red';
})

If you have scriptrunner, you can deploy arrive as a global resource, otherwise, there might not be any choice but to include the minified arrive into your announcement box (about 5k) - if that's even possible.

Maybe there are better ways. Such as MutableObserver
