JIRA Gadget - Create a drop down list based on a REST call

[Techie Guy]

I am writing a new JIRA gadget. I want to have a user preference field called Version which can be loaded dynamically from the backend via a REST call.

Please help with the approach and code.

THanks

Hi Techie Guy,

<Optional feature="atlassian.util"/>
#oauth
#supportedLocales("gadget.common,gadget.user.activity")


<UserPref name="projectpicker" datatype="hidden"/>you can specify the customized user preferences. e.g Version

AJS.gadget.fields.projectsOrCategoriesPicker(gadget, "projectpicker"), -- it will get focused on load.

this way you can add project picker. or any if you still want to add simple select field manually you can refer the

Thanks Tousif. But this will not be a user preference then. Also I am looking for more of a dropdown than a numbered list or unnumbered list.

Your thoughts ? Do you know of sample code which displays dropdown ?

Hi,

You can refer existing Gadget's according to there standard they have created what you want

e.g

view: {
template: function(args) {
var gadget = this;

var projectList = AJS.$("<ul/>");

AJS.$(args.projectData.projects).each(function() {
projectList.append(
AJS.$("<li/>").append(
AJS.$("<a/>").attr({
target: "_parent",
title: gadgets.util.escapeString(this.description),
href: "__ATLASSIAN_BASE_URL__" + "/browse/" + this.key
}).text(this.name)
)
);
});

gadget.getView().html(projectList);
},
args: [{
key: "projectData",
ajaxOptions: function() {
return {
url: "/rest/tutorial-gadget/1.0/projects.json"
};
}
}]
}

may be it will work for you .
