JIRA 7 Script Runner How to get the current (or self) scripted field name inside the script

[Ramakrishnan Srinivasan]

Hi,

 I have six custom fields to get the total of six pairs of other fields. So, the logic is same to get the total. So I want to write the condition where 

• if the script is running inside a scripted field with name 'Total Field X', get the total of respective fields belonging to X
• if the script is running inside a scripted field with name 'Total Field Y', get the total of respective fields belonging to Y
• This will help me to maintain one script and load the same in six different fields

For this, inside the script I need to get the name of the (self) field where the script is running, like 'self name'

I tried searching through posts but mostly I found to get by already known name. 

Can anyone help me with this please?

Thanks in advance

regards

I don't think you can get info about the custom field inside the script...

A solution might be

1. create a script containing a class with a method that takes the name of the field as argument
2. for each scripted custom field, call that method in that class with the right argument. Unfortunately, I think you can not call a method in a class you created yourself in an in-line script. So for each scripted custom field you should create a small script file that just calls the generic method in the class...

Hi Marc Minten, Thank you for the response,

if I have to create such a generic method, it will reside where? unfortunately I am not the super admin having access to server and file paths, then currently I am not blocked by this, it is a little overhead to load the same script in six places but that looks easier option for me now,

with warm regards
