ScriptRunner: Pull Two Custom Date fields and subtract their dates to get the time Difference

Andrew Lonardelli June 1, 2017

Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if there is a way to pull two custom date fields and then subtract them to find the time difference inbetween these two date fields. I am try to use this to be able to log this time automatically inside of Tempo. I imported a lot of plugins just to make sure that I am not missing out on any functions. My code so far can be seen at the bellow:


import java.util.*
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.ScriptRunnerImpl;
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.PluginModule;
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.WithPlugin;
import com.tempoplugin.core.workattribute.api.WorkAttributeService;
import is.origo.jira.plugin.common.TempoWorklogManager;
import com.tempoplugin.core.datetime.api.TempoDateTime;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager
import static java.lang.Math.*
import java.sql.Timestamp
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.jql.JqlQueryFunction
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.ScriptRunnerImpl
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.PluginModule
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.WithPlugin
import is.origo.jira.plugin.common.TempoWorklogManager
import com.tempoplugin.core.datetime.api.TempoDateTime

def componentManager = ComponentManager.instance
def optionsManager = ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(OptionsManager.class)
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cfend = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("End Date")
def cfstart = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Start Date")
def reporter = issue.reporter.name
def stDate = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfend)
def enDate = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfstart)
def timediff = enDate-stDate


@WithPlugin("is.origo.jira.tempo-plugin")

@PluginModule
TempoWorklogManager tempoWorklogManager
@PluginModule
WorkAttributeService workAttributeService


def changeHistoryManager = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager()


def triageType = workAttributeService.getWorkAttributeTypes().returnedValue.find{it.name == "_WorkType_"}
def attributes = workAttributeService.getWorkAttributesByType(triageType).returnedValue // set the Tempo Worktype attribute

tempoWorklogManager.create(issue.key, TempoDateTime.now(), "Auto-created worklog for Vacation",
attributes,
timediff, 0, null,
issue.reporter, [:])

I know there was a way to log work without tempo (WorklogImp or WorklogImp2) but I had trouble using those functions so I am trying to use the tempoWorklogManager now. I also get issues with the tempoWorklogManager.create command.

Update: I changed the below lines

def stDate = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfend)
def enDate = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfstart)
def timediff = enDate-stDate

To :

double stDate = (issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfend) as Date).getTime()//returns milliseconds
double enDate = (issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfstart) as Date).getTime()//returns milliseconds

double timediff = (enDate - stDate)*1000 // returns seconds
timediff = timediff/(60*60) // returns hours

This hopefully is able to take my dates, conert them to double and find the time difference inbetween them. 

I am still trying to find a way to log the time difference in either the tempo timesheets or JIRA

After 3 years, have you found the solution?
