MultiSelectCFType

Parses the given comma-separated String value into a Collection. Whitespace is trimmed and blank fields are discarded. If literal commas are required, then they can be escaped with a backslash. Therefore the input String "red, white\, and blue" would produce two tokens in its list:

• red
• white, and blue

Returns a String of representing values to be stored in the change log, an example is the name of a version field that a version id will resolve to within JIRA.

Returns a List of FieldConfigItemType objects. Can not be immutable. This opens up possibilities for configurable custom fields.

Returns lower level Information about the field. This information contains allowed values and/or the autocomplete url

Returns a Set of issue ids (Long) that have the given option selected.

Return The default data for this system field. May be null if there is no default.

Return a JsonData representation of the field value

Return a description of the shape of this field when represented as JSON.

Returns all possible Options for this field.

Returns the object that will perform the actual project import functions for the custom field type.

This method should be implemented in your custom type to return a Query. Generally you should return a TermQuery in the form of fieldName:groupName. However some custom fields, such as (@Link SelectCFType) manipulate the field identifiers and values before storing in the index. In cases like this you will have to implement the method such that it searches the correct fields.

Returns the RestFieldOperationsHandler for this field.

Returns a Singular Object, given the string value as passed by the presentation tier. Throws FieldValidationException if the string is an invalid representation of the Object.

Takes a Collection of values and creates a comma-separated String that represents this Collection.

If any items in the collection include literal commas, then these commas are escaped with a prepended backslash. eg a list that looks like:

• All sorts
• Tom, Dick, and Harry

Return the String value object from the CustomFieldParams. The object may be a single String (e.g. TextCFType, List of Strings (e.g. MultiSelectCFType) or CustomFieldParams of Strings (e.g. CascadingSelectCFType). Among other things these values are passed to Velocity for rendering edit screens.

Retrieves the Transport Object representing the CustomField value instance from the CustomFieldParams of Strings.

The custom field may wish to pass parameters to the velocity context beyond the getValueFromIssue methods (eg managers).

The values are added to the context for all velocity views (edit, search, view, xml)

called when removing a field. return issue IDs affected.

Subclasses should override this if they have specific cleanup that they need to do (such as removing select list values)

Perform any actions required if the option selected by the issue is removed.

Sets the default value for a Custom Field.

Ensures that the CustomFieldParams of Strings is a valid representation of the Custom Field values. Any errors should be added to the ErrorCollection under the appropriate key as required.

Used to compare 2 field values and work out whether a change item should be generated

Converts a given db value to Single form of Transport Object

Converts a given underlying type to its db storage value. Must be compatable with PersistenceFieldType returned by getDatabaseType()

Type of database field needed to store this field.

Returns a comparator for underlying type of this custom field. Used e.g. for sorting values retrieved from the Database
