How can you add a scriptrunner scripted field to a transition screen

[Tom Lister]

I have created a scripted field based on the content of a text field. This is to show information as read-only on a transition screen.

The field works and I can see it on the issue under Scripted Fields.

But it is not showing up as a field that can be added to a transition screen.

Is this possible?

Are there any other ways to show read-only info on a transition?

Yep, scripted fields don't appear on "edit" screens (screens that allow for issue data updates - create, edit, and transition)

You can use the Jira Toolkit message-for-edit fields to put static messages on transition screens, but the only way I can think of getting a dynamic message field on to a transition screen is to 

• Create a standard custom-field for message display, probably plain text
• Create a listener that populates it for each issue on any change (I'm assuming there's a change that needs to lead to an update of the message for the transition)
• Create a post-function that overwrites the message if the user has accidentally changed the text field (if the listener won't pick it up)

Hi @Tom Lister ,

a scripted field is a real time field calculated on an issue view so it can't be added on a transition view.

In order to put an info on a trasition, my suggestion is to add an help text to a specific field through a script runner behaviour.

Thx @Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_ 

I don't think behaviours would work on a a transition screen.

I may be able to build some sort of message field using automation.
