ScriptRunner for Jira

You might find Smart Checklist integration with ScripRunner useful for updating checklists using automated scripts. 

Basic Case

You can add checklists to your Jira Issues by pushing value to the custom field "Checklists" using the following script:

ScriptRunner
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager() def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager() def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("PROJ-7") def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder() def String myval = "- ToDo List\n+ Checked\nx Skipped\n~ In Progress\n# Another ToDo List\n- Unchecked\n> Quote line 1 https://rw.rw\\n> Quote line 2\n> Quote line 3\n" // a text field def textCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Checklists") textCf.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(textCf), myval),changeHolder)

 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption; import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager def issueService = ComponentAccessor.issueService def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("PROJ-7") def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder() def inputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters() def myval = "- ToDo List\n+ Checked\nx Skipped\n~ In Progress\n# Another ToDo List\n- Unchecked\n> Quote line 1 https://rw.rw\\n> Quote line 2\n> Quote line 3\n" // a text field def textCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Checklists") inputParameters.addCustomFieldValue(textCf.getId(), myval); def updateValidationResult = issueService.validateUpdate(loggedInUser, issue.getId(), inputParameters); if (updateValidationResult.isValid()) { def result = issueService.update(loggedInUser, updateValidationResult, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false); if (!result.isValid()) { return result.getErrorCollection().getErrors().toString(); } } else { return updateValidationResult.getErrorCollection().getErrorMessages(); }

Result

Update/append checklists with post function during a workflow status change

This could be achieved by updating Issue Property with the key com.railsware.SmartChecklist.checklist using REST API Endpoints https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/5.6.8/jira/rest-endpoints.html

This use case can also be met with the native Smart Checklist feature. See the details here: Modify checklists on a Workflow Transition

Set checklist depending on Custom Field Value after Issue Creation

If you want the specific Checklist appended to your newly created ticket depending on the other Custom field value - you can easily do it by adding Script Runner Post Function to your Create Ticket workflow transition.

Assume that you have a custom field named "Environment" with 2 values: Production/Staging. So you expect that while adding a new issue - you'll have a proper checklist assigned

Implementation flow:

  1. Go To Workflow Editor

  2. Choose "Script Post Function" Script Runner

  3. Choose "Custom Script Post Function"

  4. Add inline Script

  5. Variables checklistProd and checklistStage are used for keeping the proper value of the checklist (in text format)

    ScriptRunner

    import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder import org.apache.log4j.Level log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG) //Grab necessary Components def cfm = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager() def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager() def cfEnv = cfm.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Environment") def cfEnvtValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfEnv) def cfEnvValueString = cfEnvtValue.toString() def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder() def checklistProd = "- ToDo List\n+ Checked\nx Skipped\n~ In Progress\n# Another ToDo List\n- Unchecked\n> Quote line 1 https://rw.rw\\n> Quote line 2\n> Quote line 3\n" def checklistStage = "- Uno\n+ Dos\nx Tres\n~ Quatro\n" log.info("checklistProd: " + checklistProd) log.info("checklistStage: " + checklistStage) log.info("Environment"+ cfEnvValueString) if (cfEnvValueString == "Production") { //Set custom text field def cfClient = cfm.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Checklists") issue.setCustomFieldValue(cfClient,checklistProd) } else if (cfEnvValueString == "Staging") { //Set custom text field def cfClient = cfm.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Checklists") issue.setCustomFieldValue(cfClient,checklistStage) }



  6. Save the script. IMPORTANT! Make the Post Function is placed as a #1 Step!

Customize checklist visibility by user group/ user role/ ticket type

ScriptRunner can be used for hiding separate UI elements on your Jira tickets depending on different conditions. This way, you can hide Smart Checklist visibility on your Jira instance for specific user groups/ roles/ ticket types.

Here is an example of the implementation flow:
