ConfiForms JIRA Multiselect field data into a table

[Joe Yee]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a form that retrieve some JIRA records, select one of the record retrieved and perform update on that record. 

I used the Confiform form field definition to retrieve the data into field type "Jira issues(multi select)". Is there a way to display the data stored in the "Jira issues(multi select)" in a confiform table?

Can someone please help? Thanks!

ConfiForms works on the data stored in ConfiForms forms

This means that you will need to have a record stored with ConfiForms that references your Jira issues.

That record is no different from any other records in ConfiForms and could be presented in different ways

How do we access the Jira Multiselect values 

for example jiraissuesfield.summary does not work , and jiraissuesfield.summary.asArray also doesnt work to pull summary of all jira issues. Please advise.

Not sure I understand your question here - summary field in Jira is definitely not a multi-select

This short tutorial shows the concept of how you can get a value from a JSON (could be Jira issue JSON, could be something else) - https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Accessing+Jira+issue+fields+directly+from+ConfiForms+using+Jira+issue+field

I have a field MyJiraIssues in confiform. This is a multiselect Jira issues field. So i can select multiple Jiras here. Once i select, i want to pull the summary, status , priority fields of all these Jira issues. Please advise how i can do this.

In theory, something like this

MyJiraIssues.transform(fields.summary).asList

should work.

But it looks like it does not.  We will look into extending the "transform" function to work with multi-select Jira and Insight fields

Hi @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ has the transform function extended to work with multi-select and cascading fields in Jira now? I am trying to do something similar to this but pulling information from Cascading fields.

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

What is a cascading multi-select Jira field?

transform works on any multi-value field in ConfiForms

[Omar Contreras]

this is a different Jira field type than multi-select, here is how they work:https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/jira-data-center-how-to-create-dependent-cascading-lists-in-jira-1142426572.html

You can basically have two dropdown list, where the first is the Parent, and based on the parent selection, a second dropdown list is populated.
