Add Screen programatically in a plugin

[anonykhoa]

Hi,

Is there some example of how i can add Field screens programatically in a plugin?

I want to add new screen with a lot of custom field for workflow transition in my plugin and when I change status, it will be displayed. I can not find any example of how to do this.

I am new to JIRA dev so would welcome some examples thank you in advance

Hi Jayce,

Welcome to the community! I think you can have a look at FieldScreenManager and FieldScreenFactory. Not actually tried but something like this might work:

FieldScreenManager fieldScreenManager;
FieldManager fieldManager;

FieldScreen newScreen = fieldScreenFactory.createScreen();
newScreen.setName("My new screen");

FieldScreenTab newTab = newScreen.addTab("New tab");
Field myField = fieldManager.getField("customfield_10000");
newTab.addFieldScreenLayoutItem(myField.getId());
newScreen.store();

Thanks Kubilay!

I added new Screen in my plugin. I'm trying to add it into a transition of workflow, but it doesn't work. Can you help me to check this code below?

MutableIssue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueByCurrentKey("TP-1");
WorkflowManager workflowManager = ComponentAccessor.getWorkflowManager();
JiraWorkflow workflow = workflowManager.getWorkflow(issue);
Collection<ActionDescriptor> allActions = workflow.getAllActions();
Map<String, String> metaAttributes=new HashMap<String, String>();

metaAttributes.put("jira.fieldscreen.id", newScreen.getId().toString());
for(ActionDescriptor aActions : allActions){
    if(aActions.getName().equals("Plan")){
        aActions.setView("Waiting to test");
        aActions.setMetaAttributes(metaAttributes);
    }
}
