Is there a way to change the content of a board filter with a script ?

[Mamta Verma]

Script should accept a list of boards and automatically modifies all the associated filters.

Hello Mamta,

please elaborate: what kind of script are you talking about? JQL, SQL, JS,...? Or maybe let's start from not-technical point of view: what is your desired state, what do you want to achieve on a board?

Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Thanks for responding :)

I was referring to jira scriptrunner groovy scripting.

As per the requirement, Script accepts a list of boards and "filed against" values(a custom field) and automatically modifies all the associated filters. The script should set the filters JQL to the desired values regardless of the current values within the Filter.Script should be capable of fixing it if anyone were to modify/corrupt the filters manually.

Each Jira project space will have it's own unique "Filed Against" (a custom field) value associated with it. 

For example, the test project in Jira named "CBBOP" has a 'Filed Against' (a custom field) value of "CBB_Operations_Portal:26109" associated with it. The Filter for it's scrum and/or kanban board would need to be modified from the default. The new version of the filter should include any defects which have a Filed Against value of "CBB_Operations_Portal:26109".  In this example, the original/default JQL for the board filter is:

project = CBBOP ORDER BY Rank ASC

The new JQL for the board filter would be:

project = CBBOP OR (Project = "DEFECT" AND "TDP Filed Against (Agile)" = CBB_Operations_Portal:26109)  ORDER BY Rank ASC

hope this makes it a little clear with what I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks in Advance
