typeinfo

The idea behind parameters is that maybe an administrator wants to create a template script, like we have created our own script templates, but allow users of this particular script to configure projects, fields, etc according to their own needs.

This makes reusing scripted charts very easy because different configurations with different parameters can be saved based on a single scripted chart!

Since parameters are useful in scripting own charts, we create new types with different releases. 

For now, there are 3 main types of parameters available:

  • TEXT: simple text field
  • BOOLEAN: checkbox parameter (since version 1.2.0)
  • PICKER: different pickers for Jira Fields, Issues, Grouping, Intervals, Dates, Chart Options, etc.

Since the boolean and text pickers are straightforward to use, we will dive into explaining the Picker parameters.

Picker parameterPicker typeDescriptionAvailable since

Board pickerPick any boardVersion 1.3.0
Common PickerVersion pickerSelect any versionVersion 1.3.0

Interval picker

This parameter has two possible inputs:

  • absolute time
  • relative time

Absolute Time: a simple date picker for each field

Relative Time: relative time to the current date, useful for periodic reports 

This option can be either manually set, by writing in the field a value in this form:

-2m, where:

- means it goes backward from today

2 is the amount

m: time unit, in this case, months (can be: d - day, w - week, m - month, q - quarter, h - half year, y - year)

or it can be selected by clicking on and selecting manually the amount, time unit, and positive or negative direction on the time axis.
