Release 5.4.x

5.4.49

• Released 13 Feb 2019.

New Features

Edit Scripts Permission and Settings Page

Now you are able to configure which groups with Jira Administrator permissions can create or edit ScriptRunner scripts. See documentation.

Bug Fixes

• [SRJIRA-2976] - No compile context for UpdateBlockedIssues in registry
• [SRJIRA-3089] - ScriptRunner IntelliJ Plugin does not provide link to accept SSL certificate as shown in guide
• [SRJIRA-3294] - Default descriptions with Behaviours do not work in version 5.4.48

5.4.48

• Released 30 Jan 2019.

History of Execution Times and Failures Rates

Previously, for each script, we have displayed information about the previous fifteen executions. This includes how long it took, the payload, and whether it failed or not.

This can be useful but doesn’t give you a long-term trend analysis - for example, is this gradually slowing down, perhaps as it processes more data? Has a recent change to the script caused it to slow down (or speed up)?

With this release we show execution speed and failure rates going back up to two years. Initially there will be no data available, but over time this should become a valuable resource.

Inclusion of Canned Comments Plugin

This release sees the inclusion of Template Comments for Jira Service Desk in ScriptRunner for Jira. This will enable us to better keep it up to date. By default this is disabled, as since it was introduced Service Desk provides a different method of achieving a similar thing. On installing this upgrade, if you have the Template Comments app installed, it will automatically be uninstalled…​ the functionality is the same so you should not notice any difference.

See the documentation for more information.

5.4.45

• Released 18 Dec 2018.

Change to Behaviours' getValue() Output on Linked Issues Field

Prior Behaviour

There was some inconsistency in the object type which getValue() returned when called on the Linked Issues field (i.e. getFieldById("issuelinks-issues")).

• If the field contains no issues: ""

• If the field contains one issue: "ISSUE_KEY"

• If the field contains multiple issues: [FIRST_ISSUE_KEY, SECOND_ISSUE_KEY, etc.]

Notice the differences in the object types. Two are strings, one is an array.

New Behaviour

As of this release, getValue() will always return an array for the Linked Issues field. This new behaviour is documented in the Behaviours API Quick Reference.

We are aware that this change will break backwards compatibility for some users. Take a look at the new outputs below to see what adjustments you need to make to your scripts.

• If the field contains no issues: []

• If the field contains one issue: [ISSUE_KEY]

• If the field contains multiple issues: [FIRST_ISSUE_KEY, SECOND_ISSUE_KEY, etc.]

5.4.39

• Released 08 Nov 2018. 

New Features

Restrict Available Issue Types

You can now use Behaviours to restrict which issue types are available to different categories of users. This could be based on group or role membership for instance, and could be used to prevent for example, users in the Customers role creating Bug tickets, and restrict them only to Support Request issue type.

Add to Agile Board Context Menu

You can now add items to the context menu when you right-click on issue or issues in the planning or sprint boards. As with other web items you have the option of calling a REST endpoint which can cause a flag or dialog to be displayed (or have no visible output), or linking to another page. You can also add commonly-used actions that are available through the "dot" menu to the context menu, for example Create sub-task, Clone issue, and so on.

Bug Fixes

5.4.34

• Released 24 Oct 2018.

Script JQL Functions are now Singletons

If you only use the JQL functions included in ScriptRunner this won’t affect you, but if you have written your own, please read on.

We have fixed a couple of race conditions in JQL functions that may have caused problems under extreme load. JQL function classes are now only instantiated once. This may cause a problem if you have written your function class to have state, e.g. shared fields that are written from the validate method and read from the getQuery method. In the unlikely event this is the case, please refactor your JQL function.

Version Synchronizer Delete Behaviour Modified for Deleting and Swapping to Missing Versions

When a version is deleted, you can specify the actions to be taken for issues associated with the version to be deleted. One of the options is to associate these issues with another version. A new option has been added to control the propagation of these events with the Version Synchronizer:

Previously, on a Version Deleted event, if there was a version in the swap that was not present in the source project, the version in the destination project would be deleted, and there was no control over that functionality. That could potentially lead to an unintended loss of information, imagine the following scenario:

Project A has versions 1 and 2, and Project B has version 1, but it does not have version 2.

The Version Synchronizer event listener is active with source project A and destination project B.

If a delete version event is called in project A, and in that event, it is specified that version 1 is to be deleted and swapped with version 2, that would work in project A because both versions exist. However, when that event is propagated through the Version Sync Listener to project B, it would delete version 1, and it wouldn't swap to version 2, because version 2 does not exist.

That could lead to a loss of information in project B.

In order to prevent this loss of information, the default behaviour has been modified to copy the version to the target project if it is not contained in that project. In the previous scenario, the new Version Synchronizer would realize the version that the user wants to swap to is missing in the target project, and it would create it there. That way the swap can be completed successfully and there is no information lost.

5.4.28

New Features

Issue and Remote Issue Pickers

Previously you could convert text fields to issue pickers…​ the problem with this is that the "view issue" renderer had room for improvement, and that when using the API you were returned plain text strings. With this release we are introducing proper local and remote issue pickers, with full Behaviours support.

Commented and lastComment Visibility Predicate

Commented and LastComment now support searching on JSD comment visibility. You will need to reindex Jira in order to use this. See the documentation.

New option to prevent impersonation of Jira System Administrators

Admin users have not been able to switch to a system admin for a long while, now we have added an option to prevent Systems Administrators from impersonating other System Admins. This feature is optional, and you can find out how to enable it in the Switch User Documentation Page

Workflow Transition Buttons

As part of the Send Mail built-in script, the email template field now includes getWorkflowButtons in its binding. This closure is called using getWorkflowButtons.call() and adds a button to the email body for every valid transition given the issue’s current state. Example output:
