JIRA Custom Reports criteria page with java script

[manikandan.sabapathi]

I want to develop a custom report in jira. But the criteria page should have a select field and according to the selection of that field another field should get updated. If i can use javascript i can do this. but it is an xml document so i am not able to do in javascript.

Please suggest me if there is any solution to this or tell me how to implement javascript in custom report criteria page.

Rather than spending your time developing the bases for a report you might want save efforts by using the Birt Reports for JIRA add-on. 

It supports Javascript for reporting out-of-the-box and it is possible to use any XML or JSON document as input data for your reports. You have to map your XML fields with the columns of a Birt Data Set by using Javascript (there is a detailed example in the add-on documentation explaining it step by step).

Birt reports can be embedded in JIRA dashboards in an straightforward way.

It also supports report parameters at runtime in a very flexible way, so each user can run the same report with different values seamlessly:

• You can enforce that a input dialog box is shown asking the user for mandatory parameters every time that the report is opened, for instance. Or
• The user can edit the gadget configuration form and set a default value for any parameter. So the report will show data according to each user's customized parameter value.
