How to use a Property's value in the Documentation property's value

[rvaneerd]

Hi there,

This may be a newbe question but somehow I'm not able to find an answer to the following (maybe because I'm not using the right keywords):

I have configured a propery "Jira Ticket" which I can successfully use in the Label area by using: ${property:Jira Ticket}.
Now I am wondering whether it would be possible to include that same value inside the value of the Documentation property like this:
https://<our-org>.atlassian.net/browse/${property:Jira Ticket}

Reason for this is that we're using Jira for our "work-in-progress" and I am trying to link our "Workpackages" to these Jira tickets.

So what I'm after is that, when using this in the reports, the URL would be auto-completed and useable so one click on it and open the proper Jira Ticket.

Related question (but maybe better to create a separate topic for this is) is to use the generated URL as a means to make ArchiMateTool elements clickable.
Does anyone know whether that is feasable?

Regards,
Rob.

Hi,

Label expressions are only evaluated in the elements and relations in Views (diagrams), so using a label expression in the documentation field won't do anything. You'll have put the URL in the documentation field manually.

If you mean a clickable URL in elements in a View then, sorry, that's not supported.

Thanks for your response Phil.

Would it be possible to have the Documentation field (of selected / filtered elements) populated through a Script?

Thanks again.
It's a petty but so be it.

I think it should be fairly simple to create such a jArchi script.

Instead of generating such URL in the Documentation field, put it in a property (URL in properties are "clickable").

A potential script for this (untested) would look like this:

Code Select Expand

var ourOrg = '...';

$('concept').filter(function(c) {return c.prop('Jira Ticket') != null;}).each(function(c) {
  var ticket = c.prop('Jira Ticket');
  c.prop('Jira Ticket URL', 'https://' + ourOrg + '.atlassian.net/browse/' + ticket);
});
