How to compare two multi-pick user lists and fast-track when they are the same

[Ashley Honeycutt]

I am building a change approval workflow that requires a variable number of approvers on any given issue. The user will manually enter the required approvers and an "Approve" transition is available only to users listed in that field. Once each approver has provided their approval, they are added to an "Approved By" list.

Using Scriptrunner, I want to compare the values of two custom fields that have multiple users listed, then fast track the issue through a certain transition when the values of the fields are the same.

I tried creating a fast-tracking listener with the following condition. It's not showing any errors or failures, however it's also not fast tracking to the next status.

cfValues["Approvers"] == cfValues["Approved By"]

Hi @Ashley Honeycutt 

Try treating your values as lists explicitly and using the groovy .equals function to compare the lists.

def cField1 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Approvers")

def list1 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cField1) ?: []

def cField2 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Approved By")

def list2 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cField2) ?: []

list1.equals(list2)

Also try

cfValues["Approvers"].values().equals(cfValues["Approved By"].values()) 

I'm less sure of this option without testing it on a server.
