Add the URL variable (document.URL) to a Bonfire URL field

Herbert Mahalek June 27, 2012

Since my last update to jira 5.0.6 and bonfire 2.2.3 I can't set the url variable (document.URL) in my customfield which is a URL Field.

In the previuse version of jira (5.0.1) und bonfire (2.1) that was possible.

How can I make a custom Field take a variable like the document.URL and transform it to the actual URL.

In Bonfire 2.2.1 a change was made to variables so that they were no longer evaluated at the time a template is used, instead they are evaluated at issue creation time.

We referred to this as "Dynamic variables on the fly" in our release notes, but the main things to note about this change are:

  1. The variable placeholder text still shows in the create issue form, where previously the result would be shown.
  2. Variables can be used at any point during issue creation and are no longer restricted to just templates.
