Get deleted issue information from Scriptrunner script

[Alberto Rodríguez]

Hello everyone,

I have set up an automation rule that triggers on the "Issue Deleted" event, and consequently, among other actions a Scriptrunner Groovy script is executed to remove that issue key value from a Select List customfield.

The problem is that within the script, the 'issue' variable is null, even though I can access its key from the rule. Is there any way to pass that issue-related information from deleted issue to the Groovy script?

Scriptrunner listener is another option, but I want to know if this is possible with Automation.

Thanks!

After consulting with Scriptrunner support, I reply to myself.

The solution consists of evaluating Smart Values from the script using the 'ruleContext' binding variable as follows:

ruleContext.renderSmartValues('{{issue.key}}')

You can also create custom variables from Automation and retrieve them in the script in the same way.
