ScriptRunner in Jira Cloud: Modify Custom Multi-User-Picker-Field

[Sven Odermatt]

Hi community,

I'd like to update a customfield (type: multiuserpicker) via ScriptRunner/HAPI

"schema": {..
"items":"user", 
"custom":"com-atlassian.jira-plugin.system.customfieldtypes:multiuserpicker" 
...
}

Is it possible to use something like:

def eventIssue = Issues.getByKey('ABC-123')

eventIssue.update {

    setCustomFieldValue(10xxx) {

      add(User1)
      remove (User2)

    }

}

If so - how do I define/reference "User1", "User2" correctly? 

Any hints would be greatly appreciated :)

Welcome to the community @Sven Odermatt !

You should be able to use it by adding account IDs. However, for example:

def eventIssue = Issues.getByKey('ABC-1234')

eventIssue.update {

 setCustomFieldValue(10xxxx,"5b147e52xxxxxxxxxxxx")

}

The way you are adding and removing options I dont it is supported

Great, that did the trick, thank you

In our example, it is possible that we have more than one user in this cf. 

I ended up with this piece of code to update the cf 

remainingUserIdsString = remainingUserIds.join(",") 
logger.info('remainingUserIdsString: ' + remainingUserIdsString) 
if (updateIssue) {
  logger.info('updating Issue on cf 10xxx')
  eventIssue.update {
    setCustomFieldValue(10xxx, remainingUserIdsString)
  }
}

Maybe helpful for other newbies ;)
