Fixed Database Picker custom field

We fixed this issue, SRJIRA-5652 Done , so the correct fields display. Previously when using the Two Dimensional Filter Statistics gadget, incorrect fields displayed.

Please note, this fix has created a new index for statistics mappers to use. If you have custom picker fields (database, Idap, custom), and need to display their results in the dashboard (e.g. Two Dimensional Filter Statistics gadget), you must perform a full or background re-index.

Improvements when working with Custom Fields in the Editor

You told us that working with opaque custom field IDs is difficult when selecting the right field by ID and then later when reading code to understand which field is meant by an ID.

We have made some improvements to make it clearer to tie custom field IDs back to a more meaningful custom field name.

As a rule, we recommend using names rather than IDs to make your code more readable. However, it relies on people not changing the name and, to some extent, avoiding duplicate names. Where you need to use IDs, we also have suggested a way to externalize them.

Completions

When using APIs that take a custom field String or Long identifier, we will also show the name and the type:

This is helpful when writing your code but doesn't help others, or your future self, when reading this code later.

Inlay Hints

When you use a literal ID in your code, an inlay hint will show beside it, containing the Field name or ID, whichever is appropriate.

And:

These labels are not actually part of the code and will not be present if you copy them from the editor. 

We find these helpful but are considering supplying an option to turn them off, along with other editor features. Let us know what you think.

Configuration Management for Jira (CMJ) integration

We've been working closely with our peers at Appfire to make the days of manual migration and change management, when it comes to ScriptRunner, a thing of the past. You can now use Configuration Manager for Jira (CMJ) to migrate configuration for the following ScriptRunner features:

• REST Endpoints
• Jobs
• Workflow Conditions, Validators and Post functions
• Script Fields
• Resources
• Fragments
• Listeners
• Behaviours

ScriptRunner for Jira is easier to access than ever 

It’s now even simpler to navigate to ScriptRunner with two new shortcuts. Admins can now also access ScriptRunner for Jira:

• via the cog icon in the top right, by selecting ScriptRunner in the Jira Admin menu
• via the new ScriptRunner tab in the administration navigation menu.

Upgrade checker

In major releases of Atlassian products, some classes, methods and fields are removed. If you use these and you don't change your code, your scripts will fail.
In nearly all cases, these are deprecated for at least one major release cycle beforehand, to give you a chance to change your code.
In this release, for Jira (for 9.0.0) and Bitbucket (for 8.0.0), we will show you these classes, methods and fields that have been removed in a subsequent major version, as a warning:

Not all deprecations are relevant - sometimes things are deprecated but they are not removed. If this is the case they are marked as a warning but without the additional pending removal warning.

Performance Improvements

This release contains some significant improvements to the compilation and execution of scripts.

This builds on some of the work done in SRPLAT-1925 Done  to prevent deadlocks and benchmark key parts of the ScriptRunner codebase.

This change should be invisible to 90% of users, except perhaps as an improvement in the speed and reliability of ScriptRunner, which could improve the performance of Jira overall.

A key component of this change was increasing the minimum recompilation time for scripts from Groovy’s default 100 milliseconds to 1 second. Again, this change will be practically invisible, but if you’re 6 shots of espresso deep in a script debugging session, you’re live-tailing your log files, and you’re not seeing the changes you made to a script take effect instantaneously, we advise that you take one deep breath and check again before filing a bug report. 😉

While this is not the complete solution for SRPLAT-1922 Done , users affected by that issue may notice a marginal performance improvement due to reducing needless access to their servers’ filesystem. That said, we are still exploring further improvements for the problems introduced by slow disks and so that ticket remains open.

New Script Registry filtering feature

A new filter is available in the Script Registry. This filter, turned off by default, may be toggled on to view all failing scripts. Use the Show only scripts that may require attention toggle option to engage this feature.

Two significant bugs have been removed for this release:

• An unexpected error with creating requests in Service Desk projects has been rectified.
• A bug preventing the Multiple Insight Object/s field read-only using Behaviours from behaving as expected when populating its values using the setFormValue() in the Initialiser is removed.

New bug fixed and improvements

This release focuses on fixing bugs to improve the experience of using ScriptRunner for Jira Server/Data Center. These include two issues related to web action items. See the Jira issues in the release notes below for more detailed information.

Remote Event Listeners Functionality Removed

Remote Event Listeners were deprecated with the 6.42.0 release. As of the 6.52.0 release, they have been completely removed from ScriptRunner for Jira. If you still require the functionality provided by the Remote Event listeners, a similar outcome can be achieved using a REST Endpoint on the target instance communicating via app links or remote control.

Bugs fixed

6.51.0

18 May 2022 

Improved exception logging and navigation

The highlights of release 6.51.0 include:

• The JQL function, linkedIssuesOf, will follow links that have any type from a specified set.
• Improved error tracing for inline behavior scripts.
  • A link to the related behavior configuration is now provided when logging exceptions in behavior scripts.
• Improved navigation to the Library section of the app.

Supercharged Jira search is now for everyone

ScriptRunner search functionality is now available in the Basic search menu, accessible via the More dropdown. A simple interface now helps users get more specific and efficient than ever with their Issue searches, guiding them through how to use ScriptRunner’s powerful JQL functions.

For more information see our JQL Functions documentation.

Bug fixed

6.47.0

09 Mar 2022 

A New Editor 

We've replaced our in-app editor component with Monaco, the same editor that powers Visual Studio Code.

Importantly, this gives us a platform for future improvements. However, there are immediate benefits to this release: you get inline documentation (press Control+Space when completions are open), hover over methods and classes to see documentation, see completions automatically as you type, find and replace, and more. Learn more about using features of the new editor on our Code Editor page.

Empowering Atlassian administrators to write code, however simple, is at the heart of what we do. We hope the new editor makes you more productive and you enjoy using it! Let us know what you think.

Bug fixed 

6.42.0

Remote Event Listeners are now Deprecated

As of ScriptRunner 6.42.0 we have deprecated Remote Event listeners. This is due to low usage and high maintenance costs. If you still require the functionality provided by the Remote Event listeners, a similar outcome can be achieved using a REST Endpoint on the target instance communicating via app links or remote control. 

Change to behaviour of jiraUserPropertyEquals() JQL function

As part of the fix for SRJIRA-5595, the behaviour of the jiraUserPropertyEquals() JQL function has changed. Previously, only active users would match when jiraUserPropertyEquals() was used, now both active and inactive users are returned. See our documentation for more information, and steps on how to edit your query to return only active users.

Bug fixed

Enhancement to the Change Dashboard, Filter, or Board Ownership Built-in Script

We have added the ability for Jira Software users to change the ownership of boards using this built-in script. Check out our documentation for more information. 

Change to the Fires an Event when Condition is True Post Function and Listener 

The Fires an Event when Condition is True built-in post function and listener now wraps the selected event in an IssueEventBundle instead of directly firing an IssueEvent.

Unicode Bidirectional Override Characters Vulnerability

Recently, Atlassian highlighted a security vulnerability where special characters (unicode bidirectional override characters) were not rendered or displayed in the affected applications (CVE-2021-42574). This vulnerability could affect ScriptRunner if a user were to copy malicious code from an untrusted source and execute it within ScriptRunner. To mitigate this risk, we have added highlighting for bidirectional characters everywhere in ScriptRunner you can enter code. For more information please take a look at our blog post.

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

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.

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.

6.0.0

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.
