Option types

Power Custom Fields PRO offers the following option types:

• String (default)
• Component Picker
• Option types#Group Picker
• Option types#Issue Picker
• Project Picker
• User Picker
• Option types#Version Picker

You can use any option type with any type of the custom field. For more information about our custom fields, see pages in the User Guide section.

Component Picker

This option is rendered as a project component. This is the SIL script to get project components.  The example below shows how to get all components that exist in the "TEST" project. The components will be added as options to the custom field which uses this SIL script as data source.

string projectKey = "TEST";
string[] componentNames = admGetProjectComponents(projectKey);
number[] componentId;
for(string componentName in componentNames){
    JComponent componentNames = admGetProjectComponent(projectKey, componentName); 
    componentId += componentNames.id;
}
return componentId;

This is the SQL script to get all components:

select cname, id from component;

To see it in action, see the PCF-PRO - Checkbox page.

Group Picker

An option is rendered as a group.

This is the SIL script to get groups:

return userGroups(currentUsername());

 It gets all groups to which current user belongs. The groups will be added as options to the custom field which uses this SIL script as data source. 

This is the SQL script to get all groups:

select group_name from cwd_group;

To see it in action, check out the PCF-PRO - Multi Select page.

Issue Picker

An option is rendered as an issue.

This is the SIL script to get issues: 

return selectIssues("created < now()");

 It gets all issues previously created. The issues will be added as options to the custom field which uses this SIL script as data source. 

This is the SQL script to get all issue keys:

select  p.project_key ||'-'||i.issuenum as "KEY"
from jiraissue i
inner join project_key p on p.project_id = i.project

Project Picker

An option is rendered as a project.

This is the SIL script to get projects:

string [] projects = allProjects();

This is the SIL script to get users:

function getUsers(string [] groups){
  string [] users;
  for(string group in groups){
    string [] currentGrp;
    currentGrp = addElement(currentGrp, group);
    for(string user in usersInGroups(currentGrp)){
      users = addElementIfNotExist(users, user);
    }
  }
  return users;
}
 
 
string [] groups = {"jira-users"};
string [] users = getUsers(groups);
string [] res;
for (string user in users) {
    if (contains(user, argv["query"])) {
    res = addElementIfNotExist(res, usernameToUserKey(user));
    }
}
return res;

 It gets all users existing in some groups (in this case, "jira-users") and adds the usernames that match the search as options to the custom fields using this data source.

This is the SQL script to get all users:

select user_name from cwd_user;

Version Picker

An option is rendered as a version.

This is the SIL script to get versions:

string projectKey = "TEST";
string[] versionNames = admGetProjectVersions(projectKey);
number[] versionId;
for(string versionName in versionNames){
    JVersion version = admGetProjectVersion(projectKey, versionName); 
    versionId += version.id;
}
return versionId;

 It gets all versions existing in the "TEST" project. The versions will be added as options to the custom field which uses this SIL script as data source. 

This is the SQL script to get all versions.
