Any way to access issue/project context from Custom Picker?

[Oskar Austegard]

For a Custom Picker scripted field is there any way to access the issue or project context of the field, similar to the issue which is available in a standard scripted field?

The following code (or similar for an issue parameter) works fine in isolation but I can’t get it “connected” to the issue/project in the field. I could, possibly, set the project key as a parameter, but was hoping to avoid it

    /**
     * Filter a given project's list of components by locating components with a given {prefix}
     * @param descriptionPrefix The description prefix (inside the {})
     * @param project A project object whose components will be filtered (defaults to the ST project if null)
     * @return A filtered list of the project's components
     */ 
    static def filterComponentsByProject(String descriptionPrefix, Project project) {
        def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager()
        def componentManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectComponentManager()

        project = project ?: projectManager.getProjectByCurrentKey("ST")

        def components = componentManager.findAllForProject(project.id).findAll {
            it.description?.startsWith("{${descriptionPrefix}}")
        }

        return components.collect {
            [
                value: it.id.toString(),
                displayName: it.name
            ]
        }
    }

Hi @Oskar Austegard

Could you please clarify, why are you doing this via the Custom Picker instead of using the Issue Picker?

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram

I am looking to list a filtered set of Components, not issues
