Use case
Issues can easily be identified by using their issue key. But some use cases also might require some custom IDs, which e.g. contain the current year and a custom number.
This use case can perfectly be done using JWT's post functions in combination with project properties!
We will use project properties to store the current year and a custom number. With the help of the post functions, these two numbers will then be combined as ID and added to the issue on creation.
Configuration
Target issue
Choose Current issue
Field
Choose Temporary text 1
Value
Choose Parser expression and enter the following expression in advanced parsing mode:
year({system.currentDateTime}, LOCAL)
Conditional execution
Enter the following expression:
year({system.currentDateTime}, LOCAL) != toNumber(projectProperty("currentYear"))
This is needed for the configuration regarding the current year.
Property
Enter:
counter
Value
Enter:
1
Action
Choose Create the property and assign the value
Conditional execution
Enter the following expression:
year({system.currentDateTime}, LOCAL) != toNumber(projectProperty("currentYear"))
This way the counter will be reset to one, if the year changes e.g. from 2021 to 2022.
Property
Enter:
currentYear
Value
Enter:
%{issue.temporaryText1}
Action
Choose Create the property and assign the value
Conditional execution
Enter the following expression:
year({system.currentDateTime}, LOCAL) != toNumber(projectProperty("currentYear"))
This is needed for the configuration regarding the counter.
