Hi,
we have developed a Jira plugin that calculates the original estimation, remaining estimation and work logged from an issue and all linked issues and issues linked to the linked issues and so on.
The result is displayed on the right side of the issue as a web panel. Sometimes we have a complex linking hierarchy with hundreds of issues and loading an issue takes long. In this case the calculation of the results takes a few seconds. Before the result is displayed the aggregation is canceled (maybe a time out from the server) and some strange results are displayed. After pressing F5 to reload the page the result is ok.
Now we want to use something like "lazy load" to calculate the numbers in the background. The user should see the issue and start working and after the aggregation is done in the background the web panel should be displayed.
Is there a way to do this in a Jira plugin? We have seen something similar in the Development panel that slides slowly to open when there is no connection to the FishEye server.
