Javascript in Groovy script

[Mizan]

Hi All,

I am using the Behaviours plugin to add behavior to a field.i want to add a Javascript snippet in my Groovy script .

Below is the js which i want to add in my Groovy script

<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.$("#versions option").each(function()    {
    if( AJS.$(this).val() == 'optionId'){ 
        AJS.$(this).remove();
    }
    
});
</script>

The optionId in the above code will be provided by the groovy script.

Is this possible ? if yes, how ? (examples with code will be appreciated )

Thank you .

In general it's not a good idea to have code write other code... it gets impossibly difficult to debug and deal with escaping issues.

But, I have not tried it, but if you write javascript using the setHelpText() method it will probably work.

What is it that you're tried to do, it looks like remove a version option that has the literal value optionId?

Hi Jamie ,

I am actually trying to set the options of a version picker . There is a parent child relationship between versions , this relationsihp is stored in an active object table , There are two customfields consider Parent ( A multi version picker) and child (a single version picker). I want to show only the parent versions in the Parent field and only child versions in the child field .

However due to this bug i am not able to set values to the Parent field.

So as a workaround i want to remove options from the Parent field which are child .

:( i have to complete this task this week

Did not get what setHelpText() does and how to include js using this method

Was able to run the script using setHelpText() :) thanx .

How did you add script?

It doesnt allow <script> tags? in fact it doesnt allow any < or /> or </ charachters..

Thanks!

It worked for me ... try escaing it \x3Cscript\x3E

You can use this http://www.htmlescape.net/stringescape_tool.html

If possible paste your script here .. there might be some other escaping issue ...

Thanks @Mizan, for your help.

Here is the script i am trying to add:

getFieldById("summary").setHelpText ("\x3Cscript\x3Esssdadsasda;\x3C\x2Fscript\x3E")

This is the error i am getting (before saving)

Compilation failure: startup failed: Script1.groovy: 3: unexpected char: '\' @ line 3, column 39. getFieldById("summary").setHelpText ("\x3Cscript\x3Esssdadsasda;\x3C\x2Fscript\x3E") ^ 1 error

ok , dont escape the < > characters let it be <script> ... what is sssdadsasda ? the escaping issue might be in your script and not the <script> tag .. What is the real script you are trying to apply ?

Also you will need some imports try the below script

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormField

getFieldById("summary").setHelpText ("<script>sssdadsasda;</script>")
