Property 'currentUser' not found in custom email?

[Martin Heinemann]

Hi,

im getting the error message "Property 'currentUser' not found" in the create issue screen after i press the "Create Issue" button.

i added a post function "Send custom email" from the script runner plugin.

While the preview action in the editor sais everything is ok, the real execution of the script in the workflow shows the error "Propery 'currentUser' not found". But the issue is created succesfully.

I am accessing the currentUser in that way:

bla blubb ${currentUser.displayName} more text for the email

This is the order of the post functions

Where is my error?

Well, i can solve this by my self:

in script runner, the currentUser is not an object but a function.

So the correct syntax is:

$currentUser.displayName

I'm a bit confused... I don't see currentUser as being available in the script binding there. I was going to suggest using:

componentManager.jiraAuthenticationContext?.user?.displayName
