JAUS Bulk Option Insert is a Userscript that bulk inserts hard-coded options on Select List (single and multiple choices) fields when triggered during the custom field’s creation.

Use cases

This Userscript was meant for Admins that need to create a Select List (single or multiple choice) with many values. The Admin must edit the Userscript to fill the desired values:

// Change this list to the desired values! (only works on custom field creation)
const jausListBulkOptionInsert = ["Option A", "Option B", "Option C", "Option D", "Option E", "Option F", "...", "Option Z"];

Also remember the Userscript with your changes will get overwritten when a new version’s released.

Scope

Currently it only supports the “ViewCustomFields” admin page, which is from where new custom fields are created:

ViewCustomFields page with the JAUS Context Button and options bulk inserted.

It also only supports the creation of Select List (single choice) and Select List (multiple choices), both on Cloud and DC/Server.

This Userscript shows the https://jaus.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JAUS/pages/33250 already in the “ViewCustomFields” page, but it’s only usable through the https://jaus.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JAUS/pages/33250/JAUS+Context+Button#Access-Key-%E2%80%9Cu%E2%80%9D when on the create box for Select Lists (single and multiple).

Mechanics

JAUS Bulk Option Insert is very little intrusive, basically it:

Tries to find the necessary elements in the page (Jira create button on the top and the check boxes)
If it finds, it injects the JAUS Context Button
Upon pressing the access key “u” (because the Context Button’s blurred), it iterates over the hard-coded options list and fills the “Options” field and clicks the “Add” button each time.

The Admin still needs to create the field by clicking on the “Create” button. JAUS doesn’t submit any data to Jira automatically.

Cancelling the custom field creation discards everything performed by JAUS.
