Show subtask with numbers on view issue screen

[Aleš Laňar]

Hi there,

We need to show a numbers of subtasks on view issue screen. Can you help me with that?

I was try to look for view issue template, but there are only few very short templates.

Many thanks for any advice and help!

EDIT:

I am sorry for bad explaining... I mean that I need to view issue and on the part with subtask showing their numbers (IDs). Not their count :)

Have you already checked the settings on the administration section, as from my head in the advanced section?

[Aleš Laňar]

I am looked for that there, but there werent it.

We adapted under advanced settings, the view
jira.table.cols.subtasks
The columns to show when viewing sub-task issues in a table

Now it looks like
issuekey, issuetype, resolution, assignee, progress

The developers of "Essential Custom Fields for JIRA" are working on that required custom field. Within the next 2 days a new release will be published. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1211807

you can create a scripted field using script runner https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Scripted+Fields

select the number field as a template

and implement the code like:

if (null != issue.getSubTaskObjects())
  return issue.getSubTaskObjects().size();
return 0;

[Alexey_Rjeutski__Polontech_]

The same - but the template will be string and little bit more coding

String result = "";
if (null != issue.getSubTaskObjects() {
  for (def subIssue : issue.getSubTaskObjects() {
    result += subIssue.getId().toString() + "\n";
}
return result;

Thank you Alexey. It works. But this will create a new field, isnt it? Do you know how I can modify classic view? I uploading screen what I mean and what I want :)

[Alexey_Rjeutski__Polontech_]

Only through modification of sources. Please modify \atlassian-jira\WEB-INF\classes\templates\plugins\issueviews\single-word.vm

(look for issue.field.subtasks text inside that file). Please note that this modification should be applied each time you upgrade jira.

I am trying do that via this template, but it not work for me :( I try to modify it but no change. I try to delete this file (i have test instance) and nothing...everything work. Can you help me how i can check which templates is used?

[Adrian Moerchen]

You can:

1. Create a web panel for the issue view,
2. Which calculates the number of subttasks for the current issue somehow (maybe Issue.html#getSubTaskObjects().size())
3. And prints it ;)

I am sorry, my mystake. I mean showing numbers (IDs) of subtask on parent view page. I add it to question.
