How to Set a Default Component when create a Issue?

[xinan liu]

As the title says, I want to auto fill a defaule component when create a issue. Can JIRA or some plugin can do this? I have searched for some old questions about this title, the answers are all negative. Is there some more achievements?

How do I set the component field to a default value for a create (before it's entered)

How to auto-assign a 'Component' default value when creating a new issue?

[Kevin Lynch]

Using a scriptrunner Behavior, I was able to assign a default component.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.*

// set Components
def projectComponentManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectComponentManager()
def components = projectComponentManager.findAllForProject(issueContext.projectObject.id)
def component = getFieldById(COMPONENTS)
if (! component.getValue()) {
component.setFormValue(components.findAll { it.name in ["Component name from the list"] }*.id)
}

You can also assign multiple components by changing the ["Component name from the list"] to ["Component name from the list", "Other component name"]

Hello,

Try this as post-function:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def projectComponentManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectComponentManager()
projectComponentManager.findAllForProject(issue.projectObject.id)
def component = projectComponentManager.findByComponentName(issue.projectObject.id, "YOUR COMPONENT HERE")
issue.setComponent([component])

You could try this, though it is not a perfect solution...

I would also like to know if this is possible. Its seems that you can only set default values on custom fields.
