Script Runner Fragments: Custom web item Condition for Custom Field

[Nicole Mueller]

Hello community

I have added a button to a Jira Ticket using Script Runner for Jira Server. This worked fine. I only want to show it at a certain project, so I set a condition using jiraHelper.project?.key == "TheKey", this also worked fine! But now, I have to extend this condition and only show this button if a certain value in a Select Custom Field is set. Unfortunately, I have not found a way to do this correctly. I've realized it's possible to add an AND using && and maybe check for a certain issueType like jiraHelper.project?.key == "TheKey" && issue.issueType?.name == 'TheIssueType'. But how should the condition be, if I want to check for a Custom Field? I'm a Script Runner beginner by the way. Thanks a lot for help.

Kind regards
Nicole

If your "section" is one that is specific to "issue" (and I guess it is based on what you are saying), then yes, you can use the "issue" variable. But that's not available in all fragment contexts.

Also, if you have the issue variable, the jiraHelper.project is not needed.

Your condition could look like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option
if(issue.projectObject.key == 'TheKey'){
  def cf = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldObjectsByName('The Custom Field Name')
  def cfOption = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf) as Option
  if(cfObption.value == "some option value"){
    return true
  }
}
return false

With any condition script, what matters is the return value. But with groovy, if not specified, the last evaluated statement is automatically returned. That's why a simple "expressionA && expressionB" as a simple condition works.

But nothing forces you to stick to that. So we can either explicitly make a return statement or set some other arbitrary variable and return that at the end:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option

def showMyButton = false

if(issue.projectObject.key == 'TheKey'){
   def cf = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldObjectsByName('The Custom Field Name')
   def cfOption = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf) as Option
   showMyButton = cfObption.value == "some option value"
}

showMyButton

Looks like I was a little sloppy in the code I shared here.

Here is a cleaner one 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

issue = issue as Issue
if(issue.projectObject.key == 'TheKey'){
   def cf = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName('The Custom Field Name')[0]
   def cfOption = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf) as Option
   if(cfOption.value == "some option value"){
      return true
   }
}
return false

 Line 5 could be removed, its only there to make the script editor understand line 8

That condition block is where this code goes.

This works!! Thank you so much!

Hi Peter-Dave

Thanks a lot for your answer. The section where the button should go is jira.issue.tools

What it should do is: Run code and display a dialog

I tried to use your code as a condition, but I get some errors:

And this is where I was trying to add the condition (just to make sure):

Do you have any idea, why this is not working?

Kind regards
