Script Runner setting Assignee on Issue

[Will C]

Hi there,

I am looking at ways of setting the assignee on a workflow post function. Firstly I have been testing this out using the script runner console with the following piece of code that I seen Stephen Cheesley posted here 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

def user = userManager.getUserByName("tbas")

def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("HW_TEST-64")

def validateAssignResult = issueService.validateAssign(user, issue.id, issue.reporterId)
issueService.assign(user, validateAssignResult)

However whenever I used this script in the console it sets the assignee to whoever the reporter is on that issue, no matter who I define it should be in the script.

Am I missing something obvious here?

came back to look at my old questions now I have been using Scriptrunner for a bit longer and have built up more experience.

The way to do this is the following:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

def user = userManager.getUserByName("user")
def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

def assigneeUpdate = issue.setAssignee(user)
issueManager.updateIssue(loggedInUser, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

validateAssign(ApplicationUser user, Long issueId, String assignee)

the reporter is set as id coz you explicitly set it to issue.reporterId.

use instead

def validateAssignResult = issueService.validateAssign(user, issue.id, user)

Thankyou! school boy error it seems.

Although I've tried running it with your suggestion but it still doesn't set the Assignee to the user I set in the script and there are no errors when I try to run it.

I am still looking at doing this, just to give some more background.

my end goal is that I can copy a project including some issues over to a new project - this is working fine.

Now I want to be able to change the assignee of the copied issues to somebody who I stipulate in the script or choose from a custom field.

I have got the copy project working from a workflow post function but now need to be able to change the assignee, I was thinking within the same script would be best? unless there are other methods I am not thinking of?

Thanks for all of the replies so far, I am still unable to change the assignee of an issue using scriptrunner console, any ideas?

You  may want to  do it this way base on a custom-field option-value(internal) on the  create issue screen in this case.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

 
CustomField cf86903 = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject("customfield_86903")

String cf86903Value = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf86903)

if(cf86903Value == 'Internal') issue.setAssigneeId("groovy_m")
