Script runner: setFieldOptions for custom picker field

[Yin Liang_XDevPod]

Hello

I have applied some  custom picker fields (e.g. user picker for a specified group) with script runner. 

Is it possible to use setFieldOptions of  behaviour  to restrict the selections to a smaller scope ?

Hi @Yin Liang_XDevPod

If you are using a Custom Picker field, setting the field options via Behaviour is not feasible as this is controlled by the configuration you have set for the Custom Picker.

Since you intend to create a custom field based on the User's Group, why not just use Behaviour to convert a Text Field to a List and pull the options from the REST Endpoint? You'll have more control and can filter the options accordingly from there.

I have given a similar solution in this Community Post some time back.

The sample provided in the Community Post is filtering the users by User Role. You will need to modify it to filter it by Group instead.

Thank you and Kind regards,
Ram

Hey @Yin Liang_XDevPod ,

Yes, that would be possible. There are some existing samples here which you can use as reference:

• Restrict Sub-task options based on parent issue type 
• Control Available Issue Link Types 
• Set Behaviour Multi and Single Select Options and Value 
• Dynamic Select 
• Restrict Issue Types 

Hope it helps.

Thank you very much for your quick answer.

The filed to "setFieldOptions" is not system fields or  custom select field,  it's the "Custom Picker" filed created via script runner.

Pls see below code for the picker 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.jira.fields.model.PickerOption

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.Group
import com.atlassian.jira.avatar.Avatar


def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def avatarService = ComponentAccessor.avatarService
def authenticationContext = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext

def group = groupManager.getGroup("team1")
def users = group.getMembers()


search = { String inputValue ->
return users
}

getItemFromId = {String id ->
userManager.getUserByKey(id)
}

toOption = { ApplicationUser user, Closure<String> highlight ->
def remoteUser = authenticationContext.getLoggedInUser()


new PickerOption(
value: user.key,
label: user.name,
html: highlight(user.displayName, false),
icon: avatarService.getAvatarURL(remoteUser, user, Avatar.Size.SMALL)?.toString()
)
}

how to set options  for such field ? what's the input parameter for setFieldOptions()?

Hey Yin Liang,

Thanks for the callout and I do apologise for reading the question wrongly - I must have been groggy from not having my morning coffee yet. It is as what you and ram has pointed out.

I would have gone with Ram's suggestion to use a Text field which is also feasible and he also shared his solution;

I have given a similar solution in this Community Post some time back.
