How can you add a scriptrunner scripted field to a transition screen

[Tom Lister]

I have created a scripted field based on the content of a text field. This is to show information as read-only on a transition screen.

The field works and I can see it on the issue under Scripted Fields.

But it is not showing up as a field that can be added to a transition screen.

Is this possible?

Are there any other ways to show read-only info on a transition?

In order to put an info on a trasition, my suggestion is to add an help text to a specific field through a script runner behaviour.

I have been using this solution for years but the problem is that the helptext is hidden when the validator checks for mandatory fields

Hey @Michael Kornatzki  try to use setHelpText method and not setError...

[Michael Kornatzki]

That's not enough.

I use setHelpText but the text is hidden if click in the screen and there are mandatory fields which were empty. Then the errorText of the mandatory fields is displayed and the helpText is hidden.

Yep, scripted fields don't appear on "edit" screens (screens that allow for issue data updates - create, edit, and transition)

You can use the Jira Toolkit message-for-edit fields to put static messages on transition screens, but the only way I can think of getting a dynamic message field on to a transition screen is to 

• Create a standard custom-field for message display, probably plain text
• Create a listener that populates it for each issue on any change (I'm assuming there's a change that needs to lead to an update of the message for the transition)
• Create a post-function that overwrites the message if the user has accidentally changed the text field (if the listener won't pick it up)

Hi @Tom Lister ,

a scripted field is a real time field calculated on an issue view so it can't be added on a transition view.

In order to put an info on a trasition, my suggestion is to add an help text to a specific field through a script runner behaviour.

Thx @Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_ 

I don't think behaviours would work on a a transition screen.

I may be able to build some sort of message field using automation.

Hey @Tom Lister validator works also on a transition screen
