JavaScript on Custom Field Description of JIRA 6.4

[srinivasp]

Custom JS existing on description of custom field is simply showing as description on screens. Existing functionality was broken on Create Issue screens. Is there any workaround?

[srinivasp]

Remove JS from description and copy it as a JS file. Now call the custom JS file from announcement banner. it works.

Good approach. Exactly the same we did already since a few years and hence it - luckily - saved us during the update to JIRA 6.4.11 :-)

hi @srinivas

Looks like a promising solution. Can you please post an example of how I can call teh custom JS from announment banner?

I have the sample script here, which change sthe value of one custom field depending on other field's value. This once doesn't worked when the JS placed in Description.

"<script type="text/javascript">
appName = document.getElementById('customfield_14262');

target = document.getElementById('customfield_14261');

if (appName=="Bergen.Service) {
target.value = "bergen  service"

}
</script>"

We disabled this on purpose: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Fields+Allowing+Custom+HTML+or+JavaScript You can use a plugin to deliver custom JS if you need to.

Looks like the website was down so I am not sure what it was on the mentioned page. Can we enable this again? One question: Cant we use JS on any existing JSP pages or on Announcement Banner?

[srinivasp]

Boris, I tried many times but the site is down. Could you please point any other page if that was available?

[Boris Berenberg]

The site is not down, I just tested it. I would suggest trying to access it from a different connection? Or maybe something is busted with your Atlassian ID account, try viewing it in an incognito window.

Hi Boris, I am able to access the site on different browser. Could you please provide some more details about plugin to deliver custom JS?

[srinivasp]

We have custom JS on some of description fields, actually copies reporter user field value to some custom fields. Could you please suggest any workaround to achieve this functionality?

[Boris Berenberg]

You would need to write a standard P2 (not connect) JIRA plugin to inject Javascript. I am not familiar with the exact how to for this as I am not a dev, but I know this is how we deliver custom JS on some of our instances. The only workaround I have is to do this via post functions where you can, and write a custom plugin to inject JS where you can't.

[srinivasp]

Post functions does not help us since we need to call the JS on page load of Issue Create.

[Boris Berenberg]

This is what you would use to load JS: https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-architecture/building-jira-add-ons/jira-plugins2-overview/jira-plugin-module-types/web-resource-plugin-module Some Googling around says https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.communardo.atlassian.plugins.cute may also do this, but I don't know for sure. Would be important to trial and test first to see if it can help you inject the JS where you need.

Hi Boris, I got a simple work around. Now custom JS is also calling from announcement banner. I was not able to call JS on Create Issue dialog with the earlier versions from announcement banner but on JIRA 6.4 it is working. Thanks for sharing the links.
