disable issue type creation temporarily

[Michal Crkon]

Hi,

I have number of issue types (epic, story new feature etc.) I want temporarily disable people creating issue type 'New Feature' for a few days.

I tried to remove issue type from my scheme but that meant i would have to migrate current new features to another issue type, which is not an option.

Any ideas how can this be done?

you can hide issuetype with Javascript , try something like this by adding in footer.jsp or load it as webresource in any plugin

<script type="text/javascript">  
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e,context) {
		hideIssueType();
	});
	
	hideIssueType();
function hideIssueType(){
		hide();
	$("#project-field").change(function(){
		hide();			
	});			
	
}
function hide(){
		$("#issuetype option").each(function()	{				
				if($.trim($(this).text()) == 'Defect'){				
					$(this).remove();
				}
			});

}

});
</script>

Hi Prasad,

I have added this in my web resource, but the script is working only up to the alert,Control is going in side each function. Is there any change in JIRA 7.

function hide(){

alert('In hide');

        $("#issuetype option").each(function()    { 

                 alert('In issue options');             

                if($.trim($(this).text()) == 'Defect'){            

                    $(this).remove();

                }

            });

}

Thanks for the help.

Hello @Suresh and @RambanamP

Were you able to resolve this with webresource. I stuck with the same problem the script works upto alert. I am on jira 7.2.3 Can you please guide me.

Thankyou!

[RambanamP]

@Deepali Bagul if you are getting alert that means webresource module is working fine.

project and issue type field implementation got changed on latest jira versions so you need to understand these fields implementation first.

@RambanamP

Thankyou for pointing me to right direction field implementation.  

Below is the javascript that worked for me on jira 7.2.3 with webresource.

<script> jQuery(document).ready(function() {   var removeIssueType = function() {     jQuery(".aui-list-item-link").filter(function(){ return jQuery(this).text() === "Role Mapper" }).parent().hide();   }   var findIssueType = function() {     jQuery("span.drop-menu").click(removeIssueType);     jQuery("#issuetype-field").keyup(removeIssueType);     jQuery("#issuetype-field").click(function() {       setTimeout(removeIssueType, 1);     });     jQuery("#project").change(function() {       setTimeout(findIssueType, 1000);     });   }   //if (AJS.params.loggedInUser !== "") {     JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function(e,context) {       findIssueType();     });     setTimeout(findIssueType, 500);   //} }); </script>

Hi @Michal Crkon1 ,

Can you help me understand where can I put this script ??

[RambanamP]

I don't have option to edit @Deepali Bagul comment so am adding as answer with proper format so it will help others 

<script>
 jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
     var removeIssueType = function() { 
        $(".aui-list-item-link").filter(function(){return $(this).text() === "Role Mapper" }).parent().hide(); 
     }

    var findIssueType = function() {
        $("span.drop-menu").click(removeIssueType);
        $("#issuetype-field").keyup(removeIssueType);
        $("#issuetype-field").click(function() { 
           setTimeout(removeIssueType, 1); 
        });
 
        $("#project").change(function() {
           setTimeout(findIssueType, 1000); 
         }); 
    }


   JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function(e,context) {
        findIssueType();
    });
        setTimeout(findIssueType, 500);
 
 });
</script>
