Velocity processed custom field displaying 'velocity code' instead of return value.

[scriptIt]

Hi all,

I have velocity processed generic custom field 'Last comment', which uses velocity code "$util.returnLastCommentOfIssue($issue)" to return Last comment of issue.

When this field is used as a column in JQL search screen, it works fine. However, when the same field is used in WBS Gantt chart, instead of displaying last comment, velocity code is being displayed.

Any solution?

Thank you

Velocity shows code when the code is invalid.  In this case, I'd guess that the issues do not have any comments and the code does not trap that and display nothing instead.

You'll need the authors of the last comment field code to take a look at it.

Hai Nic,

Issues already have some comments and this behavior is only inside WBS Gantt chart column. If I include that custom field on Issue view screen, it is displaying the last comment content. I am guessing, WBS Gantt chart doesn't support velocity processed generic custom fields. I even tried some other velocity processed fields and noticed same behavior.
