Power Scripts Scripts™ for Jira (server)

Level: BASIC

The following problem can be solved by Live Fields, included in the Power Scripts Scripts™ for Jira app. Please also read the documentation regarding accessing the current screen with live fields.

Problem

To provide default values for fields in the create screen.

Solution

Here is how you can set the default values on create screen for a specific project.

Let's consider we have a rule, by setting the description, components and affectedVersions on the create issue screen . This allows the reporter to set some fields when the issue is created.

First set up your Live Fields to watch for issueType and project

Code Block
titleinit.sil
lfInstantHook({"project", "issueType"}, "hook.sil");
lfWatch("issueType", {"issueType", "project"}, "hook.sil");
 

On our hook, we react to the event by setting the fields to what we wish for:
 Code Block
titlehook.sil
if(argv["screen"] == "create" && contains(argv["project"], "DEMO") && argv["issueType"] == "Bug") {
   //on Create Issue screen
	lfSet("description", "Please describe what's happening: \n\n" +
                         "What you think should be happening: \n" +
                         "Where it's found: \n" + 
                         "Steps to reproduce: \n#action 1\n#action 2\n#action3");
    lfSet("components", {"ui", "business"});
    lfSet("affectedVersions", {"1.0.1", "1.0.2"});
}


That's all. 

 Note
Please notice that this will work only on the pop-up window for create issue. When creating an issue in new tab, issue type and project system fields are already set, so the hook won't be applied.
