JIRA - Issue fields

[b]

Hi,

I want to get Issue field controls. For example like: priority, status or type. How would I do that? Any code examples?

[Radu Dumitriu · Accepted solution]

Ok. As always, a good answer depends on the question.

Priority (all):

ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(ConstantsManager.class).getPriorityObjects()

Issue type (all):

ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(ConstantsManager.class).getAllIssueTypeObjects()

but: issue types depends on the project (actually scheme), so:

ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(IssueTypeSchemeManager.class).getIssueTypesForProject(project)

Status depends on the workflow. So you need to study a bit how the WF is integrated in Jira.

Ok, as Jamie Echlin said, the best solution is to use getGenericValue() method. But unfortunatelly the method is deprecated

[Radu Dumitriu]

Of course, if I understand what you are asking. I confess that I still have doubts.

[Radu Dumitriu]

These are on the issue:

issue.getPriorityObject()

etc

[b]

Yes, but in that way I will get only one control - priority. But as I said I want to get all like: priority, status, type etc

[JamieA]

Or you can get issue.getGenericValue() and just iterate through the keys. Sounds like something is a bit wrong in your design though.

Is this what you need ?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Your code needs to fetch and process each field that is on the issue.

Some handle very similarly (e.g. affects and fix versions), but most are different, so you actually need to decide what you want to do with them. It's pretty pointless to iterate through the keys, although it will do exactly what you need - give you a long list of stuff you then need to, um, understand, and then process to achieve your end goal.

I want to get collection of controls that describe issue. For example issue can use customfields, so I can get

ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjects(issue)

But how I could do that with default set of controls?

It's not clear what you want to achieve. If you want to get the data from Jira you can use any of the APIs, REST or SOAP.
