Scriptrunner Fragments & Jira 9 - Create Button next to Workflow Dropdown

[Adam Laskowski]

Hi everyone,

in Jira 9+ all Transition-Buttons are now inside a Workflow-Dropdown. 

We don´t really mind this but in some cases/projects we really want to separate a button and put it right next to the Workflow-Dropdown or the Assign-Button.

On top of that we like to create a second button which do something else like redirect to a link. This should be possible with Scriptrunner Fragments but i wasn't able to create something like this. I kinda have now two questions regarding buttons:

1 - Is there a solution to set a transition-Button next to the transistion-dropdown? Maybe using fragments? Dont really want to buy another third-party app.

2 - Using fragments is it possible to create a "custom-web-item-Button" right next to the transition-dropdown? 

In the fragments configuration there is field "What section should this go in" with dozens of options. With the option "jira.issue.tools" i was able to create a button but it is... well next to the tools buttons in the issue view. Not exactly what i want. Anyone some ideas?

Thanks!

Cheers
Adam

Hi @Adam Laskowski , 

You can add buttons to that area by setting the location to "operations-restore". For example:

Which results in this: 

Does this meet your needs?

@Robert Bailey 

wow that`s it! 

"operations-restore" is the right option and it works like a charm.

Thanks a lot!

@Robert Bailey Thanks, that helped me also.

I have two questions related to this:

Can I add also an icon to that button?
Background information: I want actually to show customized screens for the "Edit". Therefore I would like to remove the original "Edit" Button (on the left in your screenshot) and use my own button, but also add the icon.

Second is: can I define the position of the button? Can I move it completely to the left (instead of the original "Edit"-Button) for example?

Thanks and best regards,

Dali

Hi @Dalibor Gasevic , 

Apologies for the delayed response. I have looked into this and its not quite possible to do exactly what you need. It is possible to hide the edit button, but it is not possible to add a new button there or have the 'edit' icon available. 

The closest I could get was to the right of the 'Add comment' button. It looks like the section that contains the edit button is not available to us. 

I have attached these screenshots to show you what is possible: 



I hope this helps! 

Kind regards,
