How can I get user action in a post function script

[Bartosz Czerwiński]

I would like to get a user action name (e.g. Create, Clone, etc.) inside a post function to alter workflow depending on the action. For instance:

1. When a user clicks Create to create a new issue the post function script sets Description field to a specific value.
2. When a user clicks Clone on an issue the post function script does not perform any actions.

Script Runner's Behaviours offers a predefined function to get action Name: getActionName().

Hi Bartosz

I'm sorry I pointed out to the wrong thing. As a matter of fact we have an article of this in our documentation that I totally overlooked.

Apologies once again, I hope this was what you were looking for

Cheers

Hello Bartosz.

I suppose you can create a Custom Script like this:

if (getActionName() == "Create Issue") {
    issue.setDescription("Your new description")
}

This should work as is your Custom Script postfunction dialog.

If this isn't what you wanted, please let me know and expand your examples.

Cheers

Thank you for your response, @Daniel Yelamos [Adaptavist]. The getActionName() function won't work inside custom script for post-function. Event the script editor does suggest this function is unavailable.
