Multiple script runner calls on browse issue

[Madhu Kiran Yalamanchili]

Hello Team,

We are seeing multiple scriptrunner calls for each browse action. We are not sure why these calls are triggered.

 Plugin Version: 5.3.7

For single Jira action there are almost 11 rest calls..

Can someone please let us know why there are many rest calls.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- thank you for your response. Do you think these calls triggered due to workflow validators? 

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Absolutely not validators, those calls are all Behaviours.

[Madhu Kiran Yalamanchili]

We dont have behavior module enabled on our instance. But still seeing behavior related calls.

Any help ?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Disabling behaviours stops the code running, but it can't stop the core looking for the code being called.

Re-enable Behaviours, and then delete all the Behaviours you have defined, then disable it again.  That will minimise the number of calls made.

Disabling  "Behaviour inline edit issue assets" module in ScriptRunner plugin resolved this issue.

Thank You
Madhu

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

It's because Jira makes multiple requests to its own functions (which Behaviours hooks into).

I've never had a good explanation from Atlassian why Jira does this, but it is endemic.

When you're writing stuff for Jira, you have to assume a lot of your code is going to get run multiple times for any single action, especially the issue view (validators, post-functions and listeners are the exception)
