How to display an issue key as a link in a scripted field

jira-admins

Looking at the example given here https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/recipes/misc/table-custom-field.html

This is exactly what I need, but I would love if instead of listing the issuekeys I could list html links to these issues.

In the example the table is made up by adding keys like this:

# td(issue.key.toString())

resulting in something like this

# <td>TEST-4</td>

I would like to have as the result 

# <td><a href="https://.../TEST-4>TEST-4</a></td>

But

# 

td("<a href=\"https://../browse/${issue.key.toString()}\">${issue.key.toString()}</a>")

does not help..

 

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Change the scripted field template type from "HTML" to "Text Field (multi-line)"

Copy this exactly to your scripted field and it will work for you.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def baseurl = ComponentAccessor.getApplicationProperties().getString("jira.baseurl");

"<td><a href='${baseurl}/browse/${issue}'>${issue}</a></td>"

 In order to show in a table just add some html as string to the scripted field

Thanks Nir,

I am new to this scripting language, but your answer helped me find the solution.

The final result in my script looks like this (and it seems to work fine):

def mystring = "<html>\n" +
 "<head>\n" +
 "<style>\n" +
 "table, th, td {\n" +
 " border: 1px solid black;\n" +
 " border-collapse: collapse;\n" +
 "}\n" +
 "th, td {\n" +
 " padding: 5px;\n" +
 " text-align: left; \n" +
 "}\n" +
 "</style>\n" +
 "</head>\n" +
 "<body>\n" +
 "\n" +
 "<table>\n" +
 " <tr>\n"+
 " <th>Issue Key</th>\n" +
 " <th>Summary</th>\n" +
 " <th>Status</th>\n" +
 " </tr>\n"

results.getIssues().each {documentIssue ->
 def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject(documentIssue.id)
 mystring += " <tr>\n"
 mystring += " <td><a href='${baseurl}/browse/${issue.key}'>${issue.key}</a></td>\n"
 mystring += " <td>${issue.summary}</td>\n"
 mystring += " <td>${issue.status.getName()}</td>\n"
 mystring += " </tr>\n"
}

mystring += "</table>\n</body>\n</html>"

return mystring

For reference the code I had (based upon an example) looked like this:

xml.style(type:"text/css",
 '''
 #scriptField, #scriptField *{
 border: 1px solid black;
 }

#scriptField{
 border-collapse: collapse;
 }
 ''')

xml.table(id:"scriptField"){
 tr{
 th("Key")
 th("Summary")
 th("Status")
 }
 results.getIssues().each {documentIssue ->
 def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject(documentIssue.id)
 tr{
 td(issue.key.toString())
 td(issue.summary.toString())
 td(issue.status.getName().toString())
 }
 }
}

return (writer.toString())

Hello @Nir Haimov : Do you know if I can use a similar script to create a field to display a filter as a link? What I really want is to display specific filters as link on my dashboard. (Similar to what fav filter gadget already does: except that this is not all my fav filter)..
