Use the JEMH Script Postfunction

Summary

since JEMH 4.2.12

Post-Functions are used as part of a Jira project workflow.  When transitioning from one workflow step to another (e.g. "Open" to "In Progress"), Post Functions can be added to execute within the transition.

The JEMH Script Postfunction allows some issue operations to be made using available script engines (Nashhorn, Groovy).

Preview

The preview feature allows the script to be evaluated in the context of the issue you define. Debug (via print(“nnn”)) output will be shown on screen and will also be logged in the JEMH log (see Enabling JEMH logging ).

Example code

Custom Fields have ID’s eg customfield_12345, find these on the Jira Custom field page, hover over the ‘Edit’ link and check bottom of browser to locate.

Set a custom field value

cfObj = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_10114'); issue.setCustomFieldValue(cfObj, "a new value");

Making decisions based on Customer Request Type

var custRequestType = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_10203'); var issueVal = issue.getCustomFieldValue(custRequestType); if (issueVal!==null && issueVal.toString().toLowerCase().equals("itsm/getithelp") ) { print("requestTypeVal: "+issueVal); cfObj = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_10114'); issue.setCustomFieldValue(cfObj, "ITSM CRT set"); }

Append “[UPDATED]” and the current date to an issue summary. Then set the priority of the issue to the highest.

print('issue: '+issue.getKey()); print('issueSummary: '+issue.getSummary()); var updatedSummary=issue.getSummary()+" [UPDATED] "+new Date().toString(); print('updating issue to: '+updatedSummary); issue.setSummary(updatedSummary); issue.setPriorityId(1);

Add all the pinned comments of an issue to the issues description.

Set an assignee of an issue, if the user “user1” exists. When the user doesn’t exist, sets the assignee of the issue as admin.

Gather a value from a Text Custom Field and then add this value as a Comment on the issue using the Reporter user.
