Hide custom field when issue in certain status

oks December 14, 2018

Hello,

Can somebody help me with this. I need to hide custom filed type (html) when issue arrives in certain status.

I'm trying to do that with Behaviors plugin as following 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours


ApplicationUser currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser();


def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cField = getFieldById("customfield_12345")

if (Issue.getStatus() == "TOTO"){
cField.setHidden(true)

}

else {

cField.setHidden(false)

}

But in does not work. I have configure the behavior to my project and custom field as in example here https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/behaviours-overview.html?utm_source=product-help 

What I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance !

Hello @oks

When you add a behaviour to a field then the script is triggered when the field is changed. But in your case your hiding the field only when the status changes, thus your script should be triggered on the status change and need not be linked ot the field. 

My suggestion to you is to add the script in the "initializer function" instead of mapping it to a field and for issue object use - 

underlyingIssue

LIke

if (underlyingIssue.getStatus().getName() == "<Your status here>") {
 //hide the field you want
}

Hi, thank you for answer !

I added the script to "initializer function"  instead of field section and changed to 

underlyingIssue

like that 

if (underlyingIssue.getStatusObject().getName() == "MyStatus"){
cField.setHidden(false)
}

But field is still visible when ticket is in "MyStatus" or changed status to "MyStatus"  :(

Hello @oks

In order to hide the field you should code

cField.setHidden(true)

But you are writing

cField.setHidden(false)

@Tarun Sapra Hi!

In this case, the field is hidden on the edit screen, how to hide on the view screen ?

Using .setHidden(true or false) hide the field

Using .setReadOnly(true or false) set the field as read-only
