attachment id order and timestamp

[Almu]

Hey guys,

Jira users want to see the list of attachments based on reverse time. My code is

if (attachments){
for (attachment in attachments.reverse()) {

if(count>0){
text+='\n'
}

text+= attachment.getCreated().format('dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss') + ": " + attachment.getId().toString()

count+=1
}

def rendererManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(RendererManager.class)
def fieldLayoutItem = ComponentAccessor.getFieldLayoutManager().getFieldLayout(issue).getFieldLayoutItem("attachment")
def renderer = rendererManager.getRendererForField(fieldLayoutItem)

renderer.render(text, null)
}

The result is:

Timestamp                   Id

------------                  -----

22/02/2022 21:49:07: 17354
22/02/2022 21:49:12: 17353
22/02/2022 21:49:09: 17352

Which means the order is based on attachment id. Please, how can I order them based on creation time? Thanks!

Finally, I got it

def attachments = ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager().getAttachments(issue)
def latestAttachment = attachments.findAll().sort { it.created }.reverse()

def count=0
def text=""

if (attachments){
for (attachment in latestAttachment) {

if(count>0){
text+='\n'
}

text+= attachment.getCreated().format('dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss') + ": " +  attachment.getId().toString() 

count+=1
}

def rendererManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(RendererManager.class)
def fieldLayoutItem = ComponentAccessor.getFieldLayoutManager().getFieldLayout(issue).getFieldLayoutItem("attachment")
def renderer = rendererManager.getRendererForField(fieldLayoutItem)

renderer.render(text, null)
}

Glad to hear that

@Almu ,

Are you expecting the result like this?

22/02/2022 21:49:07: 17354

22/02/2022 21:49:09: 17352

22/02/2022 21:49:12: 17353

Hi Sachin,

Thanks for your swift reply.

Actually in reverse time:

22/02/2022 21:49:12: 17353

22/02/2022 21:49:09: 17352

22/02/2022 21:49:07: 17354

Cheers,

@Almu ,

Normally the order of attachment creation should match with the attachment ID.

I checked some of the attachment and their ID is matching with creation date order.

Regarding the Groovy Script - I was thinking cant we store this date timestamp information in List and sort it down in reverse order like we do the with numbers

Hi Sachin,

Thanks again for your interest. Finally, I got it with

def latestAttachment = attachments.findAll().sort { it.created }.reverse()
