Groovy templates

Until 5.0.0 JMWE add-on could set a field or comment an issue using either a Raw Value or the result of a Groovy expression. Starting from 5.0.0, JMWE provides an option to include Groovy templates too. Using this you can template you can output both text and Groovy expression results together. This is very similar to JSP markup. 

To write a simple Groovy code:

<%= some Groovy code %>

To just execute a simple Groovy code:

<% some Groovy code %>

Groovy templates in JMWE are used in:

• Comment issue and Comment linked issues post-function to create the body of the comment by selecting Groovy template as the Comment type
• Create/Clone issue post-function to:
  • Set fields of new issue by selecting Groovy template as the Value type and 
  • Add a comment to the current issue by selecting Groovy template as the Comment type
• Set field value to a constant or Groovy expression and Set field value of linked issues post-functions to set a field value by selecting Groovy template as the Value type
• Email issue post-function to write the Subject, HTML body and Text body
• Link issues to the current issue post-function to write JQL search expression

Groovy template examples:

Write the issue key as a comment to the issue:

Issue key: <%= issue.get("issuekey") %>

Comment an issue based on the priority of the issue

<% if (issue.get("priority").name == "Critical") { %>
The priority of the issue is <%=issue.get("priority").name %>. So Look out!
<% } %>

To send an Email to the Voters and Watchers of the issue when the issue is resolved, write this is the Subject of the Email

Hi All,
<% if (issue.assignee)
{%>
The issue <%= issue.key%> has been resolved by <%=issue.assignee%>
<%}
else
{%>
The issue <%= issue.key%> has been resolved
<%}%>
Regards,
<%=issue.get("project")?.getLead()?.getDisplayName()%>

Note that you can also "print" to the text: If you would like to print all the components of the project

<% issue.getAvailableOptions("components").each() {
  print "Component: "+ it.name + "\n"
}
%>
