Fire IssueEvent by Name

What is it?

The problem you need to solve:

When defining a Workflow using XML or on a Test environment, the id. of the event to fire are not always known ...

  • It is not yet created when the Workflow is design (Case of Timesheet Management)
  • It has not the same Id. between 2 environments.
How Minyaa solves this problem: Minyaa allows you to define by name the event that needs to be fired.

How it works

The Fire IssueEvent by Name Workflow Function requests to an extension of the EventTypeManager, the Event Type Id. using the Name ...

The Bonus :

In order to extend capacities of the Mail Template Manager, when the event is fired, additionals parameters are injected, useable by Mail Templates, provided by plugins.

Edit and View Parameters

A such function has to be designed directly through XML.

To follow ...

The supported parameters are

In case of event provided by plugin, the function is able to inject a I18nBean object, to be used by Mail Template.
