Release 6.x

Check out what's new for ScriptRunner for Jira Server.

6.32.0

11 Aug 2021 

New Script Field

We have added a new script field called Custom Picker, which you can use to set up a field which allows users to pick values from a list. 

Using this custom picker, you can pick a Jira object such as a Version, User, or Component when you want custom selection criteria that are not available when using the native field types. Or you may want to utilize it when picking from a list that can be searched using a REST API.

New Workflow Functions

We have added a Copy Fields Values Post Function and a Linked Issues Condition to give you more built-in workflow functions that don't require coding. 

Bug fixed

28 Jul 2021 

Issue Picker Customization Enhancements 

We have enhanced the Issue Picker field to bring you extended customization options. For example, instead of just showing the Issue Key and Summary, you can now choose any text field(s) to display. If that's not enough, you can programatically customize how your picker renders, what information appears in the drop-down, the number of search results, and much more. See our Issue Picker Customizations documentation for more information.

Copy Field Values Built-in Script

We have updated the Copy Field Values built-in script to allow users to copy to/from the Summary, Description, and Environment system fields.

20 May 2021 

New Workflow Function

You asked us for more built-in workflow functions that don't require coding, and we heard you! In this release we have added the following workflow functions:

• User in Field(s) Condition
• Add a Comment to this Issue 

Behaviours Enhancement

Using Behaviours has been simplified.

Now, when setting form values for fields such as select lists, radio buttons, checkboxes, components, and versions etc,  you can use the display value rather than looking up the IDs of the options themselves. The same also applies when setting the available options:

Example: 

groovy
getFieldByName("My checkboxes").setFormValue(['Yes', 'Maybe'])
getFieldByName("My single select").setFormValue('Oranges')

getFieldByName("My versions field").setFieldOptions(['Version One', 'Version Two'])
getFieldByName("My radio buttons").setFieldOptions(['Yes', 'No'])

We will validate that the provided value(s) is acceptable for whatever context you are setting it in.

New ScriptRunner Action for Automation for Jira

Automation for Jira has released a new API for third-party integrations. This allows us to provide some requested enhancements, such as the ability to retrieve the initiator of the action, and the ability to use smart values. We have also added the ability to use dynamic forms.

Because the API was so different, we have decided to provide a new action and deprecate the original one. If you need the new action, copy your script from the old action to the new, and remove the old one.

Read more in our documentation on Automation for Jira.

Potentially Breaking Change

Previously, you could enable sorting in JQL queries through the use of the getSortValue closure and sortAttribute property in Database and LDAP pickers respectively.

These are now redundant. If you had implemented these, and don’t make any changes, the sort order may not be what it was before upgrading. Assuming you want the default value to be indexed and to be used for sorting, it’s safe to remove them. Otherwise, see the new configuration options at Database Picker or LDAP Picker.

For examples of these and more information on how you can use this functionality, see our Database Picker and LDAP Picker documentation.

Ability to Disable Switch User Built-in Script

The Switch User built-in script allows administrator users to temporarily assume the identity of another user.

This script is enabled by default. However, if you have extremely strong compliance requirements, you may wish to disable this feature.

Groovy Upgrade

The version of Groovy used by ScriptRunner has been upgraded from 2.4.15 to 2.5.11. Improvements and new features (like additional AST transformations, or the new tap() method) shipped in Groovy 2.5 are now available to ScriptRunner users. See the Groovy 2.5 Release Notes for more information.

As with any dependency upgrade, breaking changes could potentially affect users' scripts. However, the breaking changes between Groovy 2.4 and 2.5 are relatively minor. The low-level nature of most of these breaking changes means they are unlikely to impact many ScriptRunner scripts if any.

Take a look at the list of breaking changes in the Groovy 2.5 Release Notes for further details.

IntelliJ Removal

This version removes all support for the IntelliJ IDEA plugin. See our previous deprecation announcement for our rationale and plans for the future.

Hidden Fields Removal

Hidden Fields custom fields, which were deprecated in version 5.6.14, have now been removed. Even though all the hidden fields configuration and data will still exist in the database, it is recommended that users change the custom field type of all hidden fields before updating to this version. To change the custom field type, follow the Atlassian guidelines.

If changing custom field type via the database, use the following type keys:

com.onresolve.jira.groovy.groovyrunner:hideable-textfield
com.onresolve.jira.groovy.groovyrunner:hideable-textarea

and custom field searcher:

com.onresolve.jira.groovy.groovyrunner:hideable-textsearcher

Use of Natural Searchers in Script Fields

Previously many users may have used the Natural Searchers for Jira plugin. Use of these searchers on script fields allows the use of gadgets such as Two Dimensional Filter Statistics and Heatmap, for these fields.

This release of ScriptRunner includes searchers similar to those provided by the Natural Searchers for Jira plugin. On installation of this version, ScriptRunner converts any usage of searchers in script fields from the plugin versions, to ScriptRunner-native versions.

Please see the warning message on usage.
