identify attachements and comment that are created on a transition

[yannis meriel]

Hi !

I have to perform special actions on certain attachments and comment, so I have created a transition where users can add attachments and a comment.

How can i identify/get in a database or a file the ID of the attachment and comments that are filled in a specific transition ? 

I read about post fonction using groovy script runner, but i'm not sure if it's really possible.

You will need to iterate through the issue change history (com.atlassian.jira.issue.changehistory.ChangeHistory) - in that you will the action ID where each attachment was added.

i'll try to write the script ( first time writing groovy for me, i may need some help after ^^ ) thx for the hint

[yannis meriel]

following jaimie's advice, i wrote this simple script and added it as a post function for a workflow transition :

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.changehistory.ChangeHistoryManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
ChangeHistoryManager chm = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager()
def chg = chm.getChangeHistories(issue)
def id = 0
def taille = chg.size()
File file = new File("/test.xml")
for ( i in 0..taille)
{
    if (chg[i].getId() > id) 
    {
        id = chg[i].getId()
    }
}
String strLong = Long.toString(id);
file.write strLong

But with this i don't get the ID of the last change of the issue ( that just happened )  but i get the ID before the last change.

Am i missing something and am i in the right way ?

If the attachments are only coming on an specific transition, you can use the transition ID (you can get that in the Workflow screen) and then craft your script to act when that transition happens.

Hi !

acting after the transition isn't a problem, for me it's the purpose of the post function right ?
the problem id to identify the attachments and comment added in the transition, on a file or on a table.
if i craft a script and use it as a post function, can i get in this script the attachments and comment (name or id)
added in the transition ?
