Cannot get Calculated Text Field to work

[Khachik Badeyan]

I am trying to create a custom field, to compare the values of my second unreleased version and the current issue's fix version, however when I try to create a custom field that returns the value of the second unreleased version, it works in Groovy Script Tester (JMWE), but not when I try to use it as a custom field (JMCF). Here is the script:

<!-- @@Formula:
issue.getAvailableOptions("versions").findAll{version -> ! version.released} .getAt(1).name -->

As other people already answered, JMCF 1.x indeed uses BeanShell, not Groovy. Also, the getAvailableOptions method is not available in JMCF 1.x.

JMCF 2.0 will change all this, but it's still a couple of months away.

In the meantime, try this:

<!-- @@Formula:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.project.version.Version;
import com.atlassian.jira.project.version.VersionManager;

VersionManager versionManager = ComponentAccessor.getVersionManager();
versions = versionManager.getVersionsUnreleased(issue.get("project").getId(), false);
if (versions.size() < 2)
 return null;
return versions.get(1).name;

-->

Thanks! Waiting for JMCF 2.0 then!

I wonder if it's possible to do the same with Jira Misc Custom Fields plugin.

[Danyal Iqbal]

I am not sure, I was always under the impression that it could only evaluate java expressions / @@Formuls with Beanshell syntax.

I would wait for someone with more experience to chime in.

I researched further, and turns out yes.

JMCF is using Beanshell, however there isn't a big community for JMCF's Beanshell use. I hope someone here can help me with converting the script or telling me what I can expect from Beanshell and hat I shouldn't.

I would open a support ticket and hope that the folks at JMCF are nice enough to offer a resolution.
