Add new context while creating a new project

[Chandan Gupta]

How can I create a new context for a custom field while creating a new project via project template.??

Hello,

Just go to cog item -> Issues -> Custom fields. Find the required custom field and go to the configuration screen. Then you can add a new context.

You can find more info here:

go to the adding new context part.

Thanks Alexey, But I was looking for doing it programatically.

I am doing the following thing

/*********************************************************************/

/* CUSTOM CONTEXT*/

CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
FieldConfigSchemeManager fieldConfigSchemeManager = ComponentAccessor.getFieldConfigSchemeManager();
FieldManager fieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getFieldManager();

ArrayList<CustomField> customFields = new ArrayList<>();
customFields.add(customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(10504L));
ProjectContext newProjectContext = new ProjectContext(project.getId());

for (CustomField customField : customFields) {

/** It will fetch all the configuration scheme available on custom field **/
List<FieldConfigScheme> fieldConfigSchemes = customField.getConfigurationSchemes();

String configName = project.getKey() + ": Configuration scheme for " + project.getName();
String description = ": Configuration scheme for " + project.getName();

FieldConfigScheme firstScheme = fieldConfigSchemes.get(0);
FieldConfigScheme configScheme = new FieldConfigScheme.Builder()
.setName(configName)
.setDescription(description).toFieldConfigScheme();

List<JiraContextNode> existingSchemes = firstScheme.getContexts();
JiraContextNode newContextNode = newProjectContext;
List<JiraContextNode> updatedSchemes = new ArrayList<>();
for (JiraContextNode scheme : existingSchemes) {
updatedSchemes.add(scheme);
}
updatedSchemes.add(newContextNode);
List<IssueType> list = new ArrayList<>(firstScheme.getAssociatedIssueTypes());
fieldConfigSchemeManager.createFieldConfigScheme(configScheme, updatedSchemes,list ,customField);
}
fieldManager.refresh();

/****************************************************************/

I am able to create new config scheme. But now I am trying to copy the options from default config scheme to new config scheme
