Get issuekey by issue id

[Patrick Schuh [brainbits]]

Hi Fidel,

I need to write issuelinks to an issue depending on a list of issue-IDs provided by an nFeed-customfield. Is their a way to transform a list of issue-ids to a list of issue keys that I can use to feed the create issue links post function?

Best regards Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Can you please attach an example of the string value returned by nFeed custom field?

You can use "Copy a parsed text to a field" post-function to obtain the value into a text field, or use New comment as target field.

Hi Fiede,

10904, 10849, 10850

This is the output. I guess these are issue-IDs.

Patrick, I don't find any Issue picker custom field type in nFeed add-on. Which custom field type are you using?

[Patrick Schuh [brainbits]]

Fidel, this is build with the origin nFeed- custom field. It stores the issue Ids in the following format:

<content> <value>10298</value> <value>12655</value> </content>

I parse this content, strip alle XML-stuff and write it to an emphemeral field like:

10298, 12655

Now I need a way to transform that issue ids into issuekeys to feed your create issue links post function with the value stored in the ephemeral field.

Find attached as a screenshot the configuration of my nfeed field. But I guess that's not necessary to fix my problem, isn't it?

Hi Patrick,

I have enriched function issueKeysToIssueList() in version 2.2.36_beta_1, so that it can get an issue list not only from issue keys, but also from strings containing issue ids.

Please, try it and let me know if it solves your problem.

I Fedel,

I'm not sure if I got it right: I have issue IDs (not Keys) as the source value, and want to transform them to Isse Keys.

152437 > CAT-1234 162538 > CAT-1625

Therefore I guess the function's name and description is not that suitable,m isn't it?

Using the function I get an error:

[Fidel Castro Armario]

Try "Copy a parsed text to a field" in advanced parsing mode with the following string expression:

toString(issueKeysToIssueList(%{nnnnn}))

replacing nnnnn with field code for nFeed custom field.

[Patrick Schuh [brainbits]]

GREAT! Works! Thank you!

[Patrick Schuh [brainbits]]

toString(textOnIssueList(issueKeysToIssueList(%{nnnnn}), ^%{00015}))

[Fidel Castro Armario]

This one is equivalent and much simpler an efficient:

toString(issueKeysToIssueList(%{nnnnn}))

Fidel, this doesn't seem to work in v2.4.8 anymore? I have a nFeed field that has single selection and I try something like this to set the "Summary" but it give me empty value:
