Is there any way which can re-index issue when particular custom field's value is changed?

Hi Everyone,

As title, is there any way which can re-index issue when particular custom field's value has been changed? Or does anyone know how to write a listener for re-indexing issues and subtask issues? I tried some groovy scripts which were provided on other posts but it seems not working. Please help me on it. Thank you very much!

Best Regards,

KH

If you need to reindex an issue in a script, you can do so like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.index.IssueIndexingService
def indexManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueIndexingService.class)
indexManager.reIndex(myIssue)

Hi @Payne ,

Thanks for answering my question! Sorry, I have one more question, if I want to let this reindexing script only work when customer field's value is changed, how should I write the condition in this script? Thank you very much! 

Best Regards,

Ah, that I'm not sure about offhand. Maybe someone else can chime in with guidance on that.
