Scriptrunner Cloud Behaviours - Get issue status

[andy.johnston]

I've been using behaviours on cloud, and I'd like to display a message on a particular issue, when it reaches a particular status.

But.... I'm struggling with the issue status.  I've got it via trial and error on the API (see below)... but surely I can get it off context?  But I'm just not sure of the syntax?

-----------------

I tried this:

//This didn't work returned argument of type "status" not assignable

const issueStatusFieldVal = getFieldById("status");

-----------------

I got this working - but surely there must be a better way?  Can someone help me to get the status straight from context.extension..... (I tried a few ways but didn't work)

//Get this issue key

const context = await getContext();

const thisIssueKey = context.extension.issue.key;

//From the issue key get the status of the issue

const requestTextString = "/rest/api/3/issue/" + thisIssueKey.toString() + "?fields=status"

const res = await makeRequest(requestTextString);

const thisIssueStatus = res.body.fields.status.name

Hi Andy,

The context provided by Atlassian when a behaviour is very limited.

This means the way to get the status is to get the issue object using the key out of the context and to return the status out of this.

You could do this using the example code I have provided in the snippet file located here.

I hope this answer helps.

Regards,

Kristian
