Collect all Summaries from JQL request by Groovy

[Harry]

Hi there, 

I need to collect all summaries of Epic's issues in one comment and do it by JMWE Event-based actions.

I created Event-based action "comment related issue".

I can find all issues with type Task or Story and Component "BA" in Epic by:

jqlSearch("project = ${issue.get("project")?.key} and component = BA and issueFunction in issuesInEpics('key=${issue.get('customfield_10008')}') and type in (Task, Story)", 20)

where 

project = ${issue.get("project")?.key} is getting current project of current issue;
customfield_10008 is 'Epic Link' field and
issueFunction in issuesInEpics('key=${issue.get('customfield_10008')}') is query for all issues where Epic Link is the same as in triggered issue.

---

I get:

Result type:

Collections$UnmodifiableRandomAccessList

Result value:

[DocumentIssueImpl[issueKey=PROJ-362], DocumentIssueImpl[issueKey=PROJ-360], DocumentIssueImpl[issueKey=PROJ-359]]

But how can I collect all summaries from this 3 issues and put it into one comment?

Hi @Harry ,

the jqlSearch function returns a list of Issue objects. You can access fields of these issues in many different ways, such as iterating over the list, using the *. operator, using the join method, etc.

For example, to return a bullet list of the issue summaries with links to the issue, you can use something like this:

def issues = jqlSearch("project = ${issue.get("project")?.key} and component = BA and issueFunction in issuesInEpics('key=${issue.get('customfield_10008')}') and type in (Task, Story)", 20)
issues.collect{
  "* [${it.summary}|${it.url}]\n"
}.join()

Of course, if you're using a Groovy Template value for the comment, you'll need to put this in a <% %> block:

Look at these issues:
<%
  def issues = jqlSearch("project = ${issue.get("project")?.key} and component = BA and issueFunction in issuesInEpics('key=${issue.get('customfield_10008')}') and type in (Task, Story)", 20)
  print issues.collect{
    "* [${it.summary}|${it.url}]\n"
  }.join()
%>
