How to associate a script with a Button or Action on an issue screen

[Carlo Bonamico]

I have created a script which creates a linked issue with specific parameters. I would like to run it not from the administrative interface under Administration / Plugins / Script Runner, but direclty from within an issue screen.

How can I register the script as an Action within the issue menus?

Thanks!

How to associate an Action on the issue screen:

These links would be a good start

Start with a web-item plugin

Write a webwork plugin

I found that another way is to link the Script to a workflow transition which goes back in the same state.

The visual designer can add global transitions, which apply on every state but don't change the state.
