Getting error while using TextCFType for custom field

[Saurabh Rajendra]

I am trying to develop a custom field using below Java code :

public class ReadOnlyUserCF extends TextCFType{
	private final JiraAuthenticationContext authContext;
	public ReadOnlyUserCF(CustomFieldValuePersister customFieldValuePersister, StringConverter stringConverter, GenericConfigManager genericConfigManager, JiraAuthenticationContext authContext) {
		super(customFieldValuePersister, stringConverter, genericConfigManager);
		this.authContext = authContext;
	}
	
	@Override
	public Map getVelocityParameter(Issue issue, CustomField field, FieldLayoutItem fieldLayoutItem){
		Map params = super.getVelocityParameters(issue, field, fieldLayoutItem);
		params.put("currentUser", authContext.getLoggedInUser().getName());
		return params;
	}
}

But I am getting below error :

The method getVelocityParameter(APKeys.JiraIndexConfiguration.Issue, CustomField, FieldLayoutItem) of type ReadOnlyUserCF must override or implement a supertype method.

Also TextCFType is showing deprecated.

Please share your knowledge.

Thanks

Why is the first parameter APKeys.JiraIndexConfiguration.Issue?

It should be Issue object.

[Saurabh Rajendra]

You are absolutely right.

I tried that and got success.

Thanks for your help.

[Saurabh Rajendra]

Actually I was using APKeys.JiraIndexConfiguration.Issue.

But i tried with Issue object and got Success.

Thank you so much for your inputs.

In the latest versions use GenericTextCFType instead of TextCFType.

[Saurabh Rajendra]

Which method I need to override if I use GenericTextCFType?

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

Same getVelocityParameters method. Override the method first and then start working in it.

I tried that one but getting below error:

The method getVelocityParameters(APKeys.JiraIndexConfiguration.Issue, CustomField, FieldLayoutItem) of type ReadOnlyUserCF must override or implement a supertype method

[Bharadwaj Jannu]

yes the above code should work. where you are getting the above mentioned error?

[Saurabh Rajendra]

I am getting error on getVelocityParameter.

The error is:

The method getVelocityParameter(APKeys.JiraIndexConfiguration.Issue, CustomField, FieldLayoutItem) of type ReadOnlyUserCF must override or implement a supertype method

[Bharadwaj Jannu]

the method is getVelocityParameters(...) if I am not wrong. Just check

[Saurabh Rajendra]

You are right, the name is getVelocityParameters(...).

I tried that one also and got the same error.

[Bharadwaj Jannu]

public class ReadOnlyUserCF extends TextCFType{

private final JiraAuthenticationContext authContext;

public ReadOnlyUserCF(CustomFieldValuePersister customFieldValuePersister, StringConverter stringConverter,

GenericConfigManager genericConfigManager, JiraAuthenticationContext authContext) {

super(customFieldValuePersister, stringConverter, genericConfigManager);

this.authContext = authContext;

}

@Override

public Map getVelocityParameters(Issue issue, CustomField field, FieldLayoutItem fieldLayoutItem) {

Map params = super.getVelocityParameters(issue, field, fieldLayoutItem);

params.put("currentUser", authContext.getUser().getName());

return params;

}

}

this code(which exactly mentioned by you in the question except getVelocityParameters name) is working for me.

I could able to compile it properly with no errors.

Also the import statement for Issue should be

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;

# The same getVelocityParameters(Issue issue,CustomField field, FieldLayoutItem fieldLayoutItem) you need to override even you use GenericTextCFType

hope this should solve your problem
