Display Jira task's status

Question

Hi channel,

I have a task repository which is connected to the jira server. I have associated jira tasks with requirements. I would like to have a column in the requirements table showing the status of the jira tickets (open/in progress/closed...). How would we get information about the tasks via scripting? Is there a library for tasks?

Thanks!

This is strange because I recognized the typo not by looking at this post by by really trying it out: I had copied your tag to my script and had the same error.

Once fixing the typo, it worked for me:

My script:

//$EXPERIMENTALS$ $EXPERIMENTAL$
load(".lib/tasks.js");

var status = "";
var tasks = getAssignedTasks(self);
 tasks.forEach(function (i) {
 var repo = getRepository();
 var conn = getConnector();
 var taskData = conn.getTaskData(repo, "" + i, null);

// TODO Find a better way if there are multiple tickets
 status += getStatus(taskData);
 });
status;

Happy Scripting

Thanks Jan for the prompt reply.

The actual script didn't have the typo. It is basically the Test Task.js script you have provided in the other thread but I have used it as script for derived property. In the derived property, I load the script and call the function in the script below:

//$EXPERIMENTAL$

load(".lib/tasks.js");
/*
 * Simple function to "scan" a task, i.e. to retrieve it and log some information.
 */

/*

 * All rights reserved.
 *
 * The script is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. 
 * ANSYS medini Technologies AG disclaims all warranties, either express or implied, 
 * including the warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
 */

function scanTasks(element) {
	// get assigned (public!) tasks
	var tasks = getAssignedTasks(element);
	tasks.forEach(function (i) {
		console.log("Get ticket {0}...", i);
		progressMonitor.subTask("Ticket #" + i);
		var repo = getRepository();
		var conn = getConnector();
		var taskData = conn.getTaskData(repo, "" + i, null);

// this can also be done in a derived property
		console.log("Summary: {0}...", getSummary(taskData));
		console.log("Status: {0}...", getStatus(taskData));
		console.log("Description: {0}...", getDescription(taskData));
		progressMonitor.worked(1);
	});
}

And the error would still be "bind" is not defined line 9 of tasks.js (the file in library). This is the line with

if(!bind){...}

Thanks,

Maisy

I think its just a typo: its  $EXPERIMENTAL$  not  $EXPERIMENTALS$
