How to populate Description field with default value based on component field in JIRA

Vasanta Kumaar December 3, 2020

Hi All,

We have a requirement to display default value in Description field based on the values selected in Component Field. 

Can anyone provide suggestion.

 

Thanks,

Hi Vasantakumaar,

this is something usually ScriptRunner in a Server environment is used - in case you have this App already it should be easy to get started.

There is even an example which describes nearly exact your use case - just for the Component-requirement you would need to insert some additional code:

https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/5.5.8/jira/behaviours-overview.html

Without any additional apps this kind of dependency will not be possible.
Even worse: also putting a default text (without any dependencies) to description is something that is still to come (hopefully!): https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-4812

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi @Daniel Ebers ,

 

Yeah we have the script runner plugin, I have tried to work on it but not able to validate the components field.

Could you provide help me on this.

I have no use case for the components field and never implemented a solution for it.
You would have to do it on your own or probably somebody from Community will contribute to this.

Hi @Daniel Ebers ,

 

I have created a script and tested in our testing environment and it's working.

def formComponent = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
def desc = getFieldById("description")

def defaultValue1 ="""Test 1""".replaceAll(/ /, '')
def defaultValue2 ="""Test 2""".replaceAll(/ /, '')
def defaultValue3 ="""Test 3""".replaceAll(/ /, '')

List componentFieldValues = formComponent.getValue().collect {it.getName()}

if ("comp1" in componentFieldValues) {
desc.setFormValue(defaultValue1)
}
else if ("comp2" in componentFieldValues) {
desc.setFormValue(defaultValue2)
}
else if ("comp3" in componentFieldValues) {
desc.setFormValue(defaultValue3)
}

 

Thanks for your suggestion.
