Screen refresh based on custom field change

[Bart Jutte]

How can I trigger a screen refresh if a custom field is updated in JIRA?

[Nir Haimov · Accepted solution]

where the customfield is updated from?

if it updated from inline edit or "edit" screen it should automatically refresh the page content

[Dan Buica]

It is updated from the board screen.

[Nir Haimov]

can you please send a screenshot of the screen from where you do the update?

[Dan Buica]

[Bart Jutte]

so it is done from the detail panel on the right. This displays some custom fields as well.

[Nir Haimov]

Yeah,

But from the detail panel on the right, it's the same as inline edit.

If you update a customfield from there, it is refreshing at the same moment automatically.

No need to manually trigger refresh as @Dan Buica ask

[Dan Buica]

We need it to trigger a board refresh.

[Nir Haimov]

OK, i don't see a reason to do it, but in any case, there is no way (that i know of) to refresh only the board, you can refresh the entire page (like reload), and you can do it by inject JS (if you are using Jira server and not cloud).

Does it answer your needs?

[Dan Buica]

Yes it does. 

Thanks.

But how exactly do I detect the update event?

[Nir Haimov]

JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.INLINE_EDIT_SAVE_COMPLETE, function() {
 location.reload();
})

Once the inline edit completed, this will reload your board page. 

[Dan Buica]

It works just fine for Jira Server. Thanks.

Is there any way to do this on cloud?

[Nir Haimov]

Where did you inject the JS in Jira server?

In cloud i think the only way to inject JS is from the announcement banner

[Dan Buica]

I've injected it in the custom field's description.

[Nir Haimov]

OK,

In cloud you can't to that, the only solution in cloud was the "announcement banner" but i just remembered that they removed it from the new experienced Jira Cloud.

There is an open ticket to Atlassian about it, but till then, there is no way to inject JS, unless you create your own plugin for cloud to do what you want

[Dan Buica]

Ok.

Thank you.

[Nir Haimov]

You are welcome.

Please mark my solution as the answer so this thread will be closed

Thanks :)

@Nir Haimov  What if the custom field is updated from REST API.  Is there is any other way to refresh the page so as to see the new custom field value.

Thanks:)

[Nir Haimov]

Hi @YUVARAJ KUNDASI 

Sorry but,

You can't do that from the REST API.
