Interface IssueService

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultIssueService

@PublicApi
public interface IssueService

This is used to perform create, update, delete, and transition operations in JIRA with Issue's. This services methods will make sure that when dealing with Issue's that all of JIRA's business rules are enforced. This means that permissions and data validation will be checked, proper events will be fired, and notifications will be triggered.

parentId - the id of the parent Issue for this subtask.

issueInputParameters - this represents the issue values we want to validate. It contains access to a raw map of "web" style input parameters. These parameters are used to allow the fields to attain the user inputted values. If you would like to specify some seed values for the field values holder that will be passed to the JIRA fields, then you should set your map on this input values. Also, if you want to specify which fields have been provided for user input, set the provided fields on this input, if not set this method will use the system defaults.

                                                   ApplicationUser user,
                                                   Long issueId,
                                                   String assignee)

This method will check permissions to see if a user has the permission in relation to the provided issue, and that the assignee is assignable. If validation fails then an error will be added to the service contexts error collection.

Parameters:

user - who the permission checks will be run against (can be null, indicating an anonymous user).

issueId - the unique identifier for the issue to update, this must be an issue that exists in JIRA with a valid project/issue type.

assignee - is the id of the user to assign the issue to.

Returns:

an AssignValidationResult that contains an MutableIssue populated with the updated values and the error collection that contains any validation errors that may have occurred. It also contains a populated FieldValuesHolder that can be used by the fields to re-render the user inputted values.

assign

IssueService.IssueResult assign(@Nullable
                                ApplicationUser user,
                                IssueService.AssignValidationResult assignResult)

This method will store the provided issue to the JIRA datastore and will transition it through workflow. Use this method to perform the default behavior for updating and transitioning an issue in JIRA. The issue will be saved and re-indexed, the comment, if provided, will be added and the transition will be made.

This method will fire the event associated with the workflow transition, thus triggering any notifications that may need to be sent.

Parameters:

user - who the permission checks will be run against (can be null, indicating an anonymous user).

assignResult - contains the issue and assigneeId for the assignment. The result must have ServiceResult.isValid() return true. If false this method will throw an IllegalStateException.

Returns:

result containing the updated transitioned issue and any errors that may have occurred.

validateClone

IssueService.CloneValidationResult validateClone(@Nullable
                                                 ApplicationUser user,
                                                 Issue issue,
                                                 String summary,
                                                 boolean cloneAttachments,
                                                 boolean cloneSubTasks,
                                                 boolean cloneLinks,
                                                 Map<CustomField,Optional<Boolean>> cloneOptionSelections)

This method will validate parameters. This object can then be passed to the clone(ApplicationUser, CloneValidationResult) method.

If any validation fails then this method will return a null CloneValidationResult. Whether the methods validation is a success or a failure the fieldValuesHolder will be populated with the data that is needed for the fields to render the inputted raw parameters.

Parameters:

user - who the permission checks will be run against (can be null, indicating an anonymous user).

issue - The issue to clone, this must be an issue that exists in JIRA with a valid project/issue type.

summary - The new Summary field value for the new issue.

cloneAttachments - Boolean to indicate we should clone attachments.

cloneSubTasks - Boolean to indicate we should clone sub tasks.

cloneLinks - Boolean to indicate we should clone issue links.

cloneOptionSelections -

Returns:

a CloneValidationResult.
