Scripted Fields!

This version of JMCF for Jira Cloud includes the release of Scripted Fields! Scripted fields are a new custom field that return values using JavaScript to calculate their output. Your JavaScript can access the values in other fields as well as the Jira APIs. Scripted fields can also be created with dependencies, triggering automatic recalculations if those fields are updated!

• Strings

• Datetimes

• Numbers

• Users - Returns an Atlassian account ID or a user object.

• Groups - Returns a group ID or a Group object.

• String collection - Returns a collection of string values.

• User collection - Returns a collection of user IDs or user objects.

• Group collection - Returns a collection of Group IDs or Group objects.
