How create custom create issue form programmatically

[shashidhar_s]

Dear All,

I want to display Jira issue create form from an external page. I want to create a bug for a specific project from my plugin.

I want to show only the mandatory(requried) fields to create an issue.

I have the Orderable field objects of all the requried fields (system & Custom fields)

Now, I want to build the html programmatically, I will obtain fields and depending ontheir type I need to construct the HTML and if the field is of type select, check box etc I also need to fetch their values. I know that getCreateHTML will give me all I need but I'm exploring the possibility that if I have the field, how can I get to know what type it is? and how can I get predefined values if any?

Please help me

Hmm.  I would stop and step back before embarking on this.

Take a look at Jira's "issue collector" function.  For two reasons:

1.  It already provides a way to inject html or javascript into a page that can pop up a JIRA "create issue" form and post it into JIRA
2. Even if it's not quite right and you still want to develop your own version, you can probably use the code it generates to do most of your work
