How to set a custom date for a specific resoluition

[Jeff Abbott]

I need to set a a custom date field (Date Returned), when a Resolution is set to "Rework Needed".  I am unclear where to do this. Post Functions do not appear to be the correct location.

This definitely is a job for a post-function (or automation), but you'll need an app to do it.

A post-function is more than capable of running on the "move issue to done" transition where you ask the user to choose a resolution, take a look at what they choose, and then setting a (presumably future) date on it.

Also possible with (again a scripted/custom) listener, but a post-function is the best option - easiest code and most efficient.

Hi @Jeff Abbott 

I'm not sure this can be done without using an app from the marketplace. Do you have any apps added on to your instance?

Thanks,

I got this working using ScriptRunner.  I use a post function to set the appropriate data field after each transition. 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.TransitionOptions
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.IssueWorkflowManager
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import java.sql.Timestamp
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG);

// Field ID: 10900

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def user = issue.getCreator()
def dateCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(10900)

issue.setCustomFieldValue(dateCf, new Timestamp((new Date()).time))
issueManager.updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)

@Tim Perrault , I used Script Runner
