How to get Project Field Value Context?

[Andrew Wolpers]

Background

We have a project that serves as triage for multiple projects. I'll refer to this project as Triage Project, and additional projects as A, B, C, etc. Each project uses a field with a context that is specific to them, which I'll refer to as Context Field. In the Triage Project we have a field that contains all values across all projects of the Context Field.

The Goal

We have an additional field, which I'll refer to as the Team Field. We want to set values of the Context Field based on the value of the Team field. That's easy and doable, however for future-proofing we would like to reduce the tech debt on the behavior if possible. 

Ideally, we would be able to collect those entries based off of the value of any given project, which we would map to the Team Field. For example, we want to be able to check what values are appropriate in the Context Field in project A, collect those entries, and only show them values appropriate for Project A as defined in the field context. Is this doable?

The Problem

I'm referencing the CustomField interface, where I initially thought I could use `customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("ContextField").getreleventConfig(PROJECTKEY?)` 

Roughly, something like this for each case:

def fieldConfig = contextFieldOptions.getReleventConfig()
List options = optionsManager.getOptions(fieldConfig)

def projectOptionsList = []

 options.each {
 projectOptionsList.add(it.toString())
 }

Then collect those entries and set the field options. However, I'm realizing that may not be the best course of action or possible.

Is there a decent way to get all field options for a given project context that I'm missing?

You need an issue or issue context to call "getRelevantConfig" since a config/context in a custom field can be mapped to a projects and/or issue type.

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.context.IssueContextImpl

def context = new IssueContextImpl(project, issueType)
def fieldConfig = contextFieldOptions.getRelevantConfig(context)

You can have a null IssueType

Also, be careful, there is both a getRelevantConfig and a getReleventConfig method (1 letter difference a vs e). You want the one with an a

Thanks Peter. This was very helpful.

I'm still in a bit of a pickle, which may be due to making assumptions. Everything seems to work fine, but in the logs I'm not seeing the values I would expect. 

Here you can see that I'm grabbing the options and making a list to resort to if necessary (Sorry for the photo, it wasn't allowing me to post due to "invalid HTML"):

Everything looks fine, but when I run it the logs don't return any specific options available for project 16601, they return: 

2022-11-15 21:51:59,964 WARN [runner.ScriptBindingsManager]: CS Context Options: com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.config.FieldConfigImpl@91e57469 

Is it wrong to assume that getRelevantConfig() only gets the config information, but not the values? 

[PD Sheehan]

Correct, getRelevantConfig only gets the configuration context object.

You need optionsManager.getOptions(csFieldConfig) to get the list of options.

Bah- thats it! Thanks Peter.
