### Assets related macros
| Tex | | | |
|---|
| Macro Signature | Parameters | Description | Example |
| #renderAssetsCustomField($issue $customFieldKey $attributes $runAsUserName) | - $issue: the issue whose custom field is to be rendered
- $customFieldKey: the key of the custom field
- $attributes: Optional: the name of the attributes you want to include
- $runAsUserName: Optional: a custom user name used to run AQL queries. If not provided, the query runs with the permissions of the action's initiator.
| Renders all assets objects in the field with their labels and all of their attributes. The type of the field must be Assets Object. If $attributes is not provided, all attributes configured in the custom field context are rendered. $runAsUserName is introduced to provide a way to run AQL queries with more controlled permissions | #renderAssetsCustomField($!issue "customfield_10006") With custom attributes:
#renderAssetsCustomField($!issue "customfield_10006", ["Created", "Asset Status"]) With runAsUserName, without custom attributes:
#renderAssetsCustomField($!issue "customfield_10006", $null, "assetsViewUser") |
| #renderAssetsCustomFieldAttribute($issue $customFieldKey $attributeName $runAsUserName) | - $issue: the issue in the context
$customFieldKey
- key of the custom field(eg. customfield_10001)
- The type of the field must be Assets Object
- $attributeName: the name of the attribute
- $runAsUserName: Optional: a custom user name used to run AQL queries. If not provided, the query runs with the permissions of the action's initiator.
| Renders only the value of the attribute, which name was given by the attributeName parameter. | Render asset attribute:
#renderAssetsCustomFieldAttribute($!issue, 'customfield_10093', 'Name') With runAsUserName:
#renderAssetsCustomFieldAttribute($!issue, 'customfield_10093', 'Name', 'assetsViewUser') |
| #renderAssets($aql $attributes $limit) | - $aql: search query in Assets Query Language
- $attributes:
Optional: the attributes to display (used the same way as in the #renderAssetsCustomField macro).
- $limit:
Optional: the maximum number of Assets Objects to display. Default: 10 Maximum: 100
| Renders the labels and attributes of Assets Objects returned by the given AQL query. | Render assets with the default limit and all attributes: #renderAssets('objectId IN (1, 2, 3)') Render assets with custom limit and all attributes: #renderAssets('objectId IN (1, 2, 3)', $null, 25) |
| #renderAssetsLabel($aql $limit) | - $aql: search query in Assets Query Language
- $limit:
Optional: the maximum number of Assets object to display. Default: 10 Maximum: 100
| Renders the labels of Assets Objects returned by the given AQL query. | #renderAssetsLabel('objectId IN (1, 2, 3)', 5) |
| #rawAssetsCustomFieldAttribute($issue $customFieldKey $attributeName $delimiter $runAsUserName) | - $delimiter:
Optional: the delimiter to use when separating attribute values for multi-valued attributes. By default values are separated by commas.
Other parameters are the same as parameters of renderAssetsCustomFieldAttribute
| Displays the values of the given attribute without formatting. You can use this macro if you want to use your own formatting. | Display attribute value, use default delimiter (comma) for multi-valued attributes:
#rawAssetsCustomFieldAttribute($!issue, 'customfield_10093', 'Name') Display attribute value, use custom delimiter (semicolon) for multi-valued attributes:
#rawAssetsCustomFieldAttribute($!issue, 'customfield_10093', 'Name', ';') |
It is possible to render only the object names from an Assets field by using the `#renderCustomField($issue $customFieldKey)` macro.
