Any scripting tool, such as JMWE, Power Scripts or Scriptrunner, that uses Groovy.

Script

Script (amendment for radio buttons)

There is a method in the script above called GetFieldID. If you would like to pull data from radio buttons, you will need to replace the GetFieldID method with the following:

Closure<String> getFieldId = { def property, String field -> def slurper = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper() def parsedJson = slurper.parseText(property.value) for (def question : parsedJson.design.questions){ if(field.equals(question.value.label)){ return question.key } } }

Installation instructions

  • If used in a transition:

    • Comment line 2

    • Uncomment line 4

    • Change formName in line 13 to the name of the form that has all fields used in the script.

    • Change/Add in fieldNames in line 14 the name/label of all fields you want values from, separated by comma, between quotation marks.

    • Change noValue in line 15 to the message you want to show when no value is found on a field.

  • If used in the script console:

    • Change the issue key in line 12 to the key of the issue you want to sum the field values in a form.

    • Change formName in line 13 to the name of the form that has all fields used in the scripts

    • Change/Add in fieldNames in line 14 the name/label of all fields you want values from, separated by comma, between quotation marks.

    • Change noValue in line 15 to the message you want to show when no value is found on a field.

Possible use cases

  • Copying data from multiple ProForma fields into a single Jira fields makes the data searchable in JQL queries and Jira reports.

  • Summarize key data points collected in long, complex forms.

Limitations

  • All fields that will be included must be on the same form, and the same issue.

  • If one of the fields being collected has no value, then that field will be shown as “No value” in the Description field.

  • The script can be used to override or amend to, existing values in the Description field.

  • The script will run for each copy of the indicated form on the issue.

  • This script may not work if the form is over 32 KB. You can limit the size of your forms by using multiple smaller forms, and by including character/word limits on your text fields.
