Problem with JavaScript in description field

[Christian Czaia [Decadis AG]]

Hi,

I am facing a problem using Javascript in the description field. As soon as I change the issue type (issue creation screen) the scripts are being ignored.

Example 1: Replacing the "None" option in select field

<script type="text/javascript">try
{var select = document.getElementById('customfield_10071');select.options[0].text="";}
</script>

The code above is in a field description associated with a project and an issue type. If I create an issue and the issue is the first to pop up in the issue type list (e.g. the most recent to have been created) the scripts fire. If I select another issue type with other scripts in their field descriptions those are being ignored...

Example 2: Hiding the Assign to me link

<script type="text/javascript">   
AJS.$("#assign-to-me-trigger").hide()     
</script>

Any of you has experienced this behaviour?

Thanks in advance

Christian

Found a solution. Fixed the none option problem in the VM-file (issue has been fixed by Atlassian aswell) and edited my JS to sth. like this

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
 XX();
  JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e,context) { XX(); });
});

function XX()
</script>

you need to add javascript file using webresource module in plugin insted of adding in description

find thesample webresource module below

<web-resource key="test-js" name="javascript">
        <dependency>jira.webresources:global-static</dependency>
        <description>JavaScript</description>
        <resource name="test.js" type="download" location="templates/js/test.js" />
        <context>atl.general</context>        
   </web-resource>

test.js file like

JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e,context) {
AJS.$("#assign-to-me-trigger").hide()  
});

Hey rambanam, one question, why does the javascript, if I use it in the field description, just fire once?
