Put components from a specific project as pickable options in a custom field

[Mads Stavang]

I am trying to create a custom field which functions like a Component field from a specific project. That means I will be able to pick the components from that project and add them to this custom field. I tried something like this under Behaviours/Initialiser Function:

getFieldByName("Linked Components").convertToMultiSelect([
    ajaxOptions: [
        url : getBaseUrl() + "/rest/api/2/project/10110/components",
        query: true,
        formatResponse: "general"
    ]
])

It did not work, and I can't seem to find any documentation on how ajaxOptions really works.

The rest api you have chosen doesn't return the components in the right "shape" as required by the "general" formatted.

So you need to write your own endpoint - which I have done here: https://gist.github.com/jechlin/4c9817846ed98f025053003846541a6f

Then I changed the initialiser to:

def projectId = issueContext.projectId
getFieldById("summary").convertToMultiSelect([
    ajaxOptions: [
        url : getBaseUrl() + "/rest/scriptrunner/latest/custom/components?projectId=$projectId",
        query: true,
        formatResponse: "general"
    ]
])

Note I am passing the project ID to get the components from, using the project for the current issue, but it need not be.

Jamie, I have a similar question.

Is it possible to convert text field to user picker using standard REST Endpoint? In other words, are there other options for formatResponse exept "general" and "issue"?

            textField.convertToSingleSelect([
                ajaxOptions: [
                    url: getBaseUrl() + "/rest/api/latest/user/picker",
                    query: true,
                    data: [
                        showAvatar: true,
                   ],
                    formatResponse: "?",
                ],
                css: "max-width: 500px; width: 180px",
            ])

Possibly... can't remember. Why don't you just use a user custom field?

Jamie, thank you for your reply.

I have two fields:

1. Owner type: select list field with two options - "Company" and "Employee"
2. Owner: text field that I would like to convert to Single Select with options list that depends on Owner type field
