Managing created events under "Jira issue dates" on Jira calendar

[Deleted user]

Hi,

I am embedding a calendar into a confluence page to track multiple team member activities based on Jira issue dates. 

I have added individual events with relevant Jira filtering on "Jira Issue dates" event.  Close to 20 such events are created with individual JQL filtering. 

Once the events are created, I would like to order them or delete some of them as required in the events list that shows along with the calendar. However, I am not able to do this. 

The only option, that I could see is, I can hide the whole set of "Jira Issue dates" event, which is not what I would like to do. 

Can you please help on this?

Hi Guenther,

This must be because of the format of the field. One thing you can try is:

When grouping by Text Attribute, first select to group by the field in question, then switch to group by Manual Specification (this way, specification for the field will be already there). In the specification, change format from text to html. This may help, but may actually produce a long html string that should be parsed afterward - let us know (maybe better through support@almworks.com) and we'll help you parse it. 

We are planning to improve working with html-based fields, but for now, some workarounds are required.

I was just wondering if there was any further information on how to parse this html string? 

I'm trying to group be an issue picker. I've followed the steps I can find and I'm not sure what to do next with this unwieldy chunk of html.

Thanks in adavnce,

Hi Lee,

I would need to see the full content of the field to suggest how to parse it. Basically, you need to search for a unique element preceding the text value (using SEARCH function) then search for the element following the value (sometimes you need to use the first result as a starting point for SEARCH function).

Hi Egor, 

Many thanks for your response. 

The issue picker is populated by a simple JQL "project = XXX and type = Hypothesis". 

We are assigning one or more Hypothesis values to our epics and would then like to group these epics by these hypothesis. 

There are (currently) 21 results returned by query, though this number is expected to increase over time as we identify more hypotheses.

I'm not sure how to perform this SEARCH function. Perhaps I can contact you at servicedesk@almworks.com for more assitance? 

Kind regards, 

Lee

I'll try service@almworks.com.

Hi @Günter Halmans 

My first thought is to create a scripted field representation of just the issues key from your Issue Picker field (or issue summary or combination). 

But in my test environment, I can't seem to be able to group by any scriptrunner field (not the issue picket and not a test custom field).

Perhaps we have a different version of jria/scriptrunner. Mine is a bit old.

Maybe this idea can work for you regardless.

But ALM Works and Adaptavist are pretty good partners, if you make the suggestion/request to ALM Works that you want to be able to group by this field, they might be willing to enhance/fix structure to support this use case.
