I'm not sure what you mean by "the attachment html section", but I will guess that what you mean is "the displayed panel headed attachments when I look at an issue"

That is generated when you view the issue, not stored, so there's nothing to "get".  If your script needs to use the raw html of that panel, it's going to have to replicate the logic that generates it all.

Hi Nic,

I would like to display the parent attachment section on the sub task issue as a script field that take the parent HTML and returns the attachment element

thanks

Ok, a scripted field supports html output, so you can embed a lot of the table html you need in there.  Then your script will need to grab the parent issue from the current one, and iterate through the attachments on it to get the details from them.

You'll also want to write a listener that can catch attachment updates from the parent issues and trigger a re-index on the sub-tasks.

Hi Nic

maybe I didn't explained it right 

I would like to do something like this:

We have 2 issues 139 (parent) and 140 (sub)

and I would like to show the parents attachment under the sub issue using script field

is it possible?

thanks!

Hi Nic

I actually tried to write a script that get the HTML of the issue but the script seems to get into infinite loop or something and don't return anything

if I change the URL to some general url (www.google.com for example) i can get the HTML

why is that?

import com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.dv.util.Base64;
String url = "http://localhost:8080/browse/TEST-11/";
URL obj = new URL(url);
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) obj.openConnection();
con.setRequestMethod("GET");
String userCredentials =  "user:pass" ;
String basicAuth = "Basic " + new Base64().encode(userCredentials.getBytes());
con.setRequestProperty("Authorization", basicAuth);
int responseCode = con.getResponseCode();
		
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
while ((inputLine = input.readLine()) != null ) {
	response.append(inputLine);             
}
input.close();
return response.toString()

thanks

You need to stop thinking in terms of "getting the html" and build it for yourself.  If you try to fetch from the same place, you've put yourself into an infinite loop.
