Script Runner - update custom field based on Reporter

For your requirement, you must create a Server-Side Behaviour for the Reporter field.
Below is a working sample code for your reference:-
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript
@BaseScript FieldBehaviours behaviours
def reporter = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def reporterValue = reporter.value.toString()
def sampleNumber = getFieldByName('Sample Number')
def value = null
if (reporterValue) {
if (reporterValue == 'admin') {
value = '1.5'
} else if (reporterValue == 'ram') {
value = '2.5'
}
}
sampleNumber.setFormValue(value)
Please note that the sample working code above is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence, you will need to modify it accordingly.
The code above gets the value from the Reporter field, which returns the Reporter's Username as a String.
The Reporter Username is then compared in the if/else statement to identify if the correct reporter is selected. If yes, the Number field will update the value accordingly. Else, the Number field will be empty.
Below is a screenshot of the Server-Side Behaviour configuration:-
As an alternative, if you want to search for the user by email address, you can use the coding approach below, it will work the same as the approach provided above.
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript
@BaseScript FieldBehaviours behaviours
def reporter = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.userManager
def reporterValue = userManager.getUserByName(reporter.value)
def sampleNumber = getFieldByName('Sample Number')
def value = null
if (reporterValue && reporterValue.emailAddress) {
// modify the email addresses accordingly
if (reporterValue.emailAddress == 'user1@mail.com') {
value = '1.5'
} else if (reporterValue.emailAddress == 'user2@mail.com') {
value = '2.5'
}
}
sampleNumber.setFormValue(value)
I am also including a couple of test screenshots for your reference:-
1. When a new issue is created, if the user Reporter is set to the user Admin (username is admin), the Sample Number screen is set to the value 1.5.
2. If the user is changed to Ram Kumar (username is ram), as expected, the Sample Number field is updated once again, and the value is changed to 2.5 as shown in the screenshot below:-
I hope this helps to solve your question. :-)
Thank you and Kind regards,

@Ram Kumar Aravindakshan _Adaptavist_ if my answer really got not deleted it must have been a bug... here is the screenshot of my badges.
In your previous comment, you mentioned:-
I appreciate your proposed script, acknowledging that it's a community contribution. One initial question arises: why are we using "arrays" in our solution? I apologize for seeking clarification on this matter. Is there a possibility that we're inadvertently overcomplicating the solution?
My perspective was a more direct and simplified code approach. However, I am relying on your expertise and generosity to guide me through this process.
I've made an attempt to integrate your code into an automation rule, but as of now, the functionality remains elusive. The encountered error message reads as follows:
Execute a ScriptRunner script action for Automation for Jira
Script function failed on Automation for Jira rule:
Script function failed on Automation for Jira rule: Hourly Value, file: <inline script>, error: java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.String cannot be cast to class java.lang.Double (java.lang.String and java.lang.Double are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')
The example codes that I have provided are meant for ScriptRunner's Behaviour. It will not work with Automation.
This is why I have asked you for a screenshot of your automation config for example:-
This is so I can try to test it in my environment and provide a better solution for your requirement.
Thank you and Kind regards,

If you are using Automation, all you have to do for Issue Created / Issue Update is this:-
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
def currentIssue = issue as MutableIssue
def reporter = currentIssue.reporter
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def sampleNumber = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName('Sample Number').first()
if (reporter.emailAddress == 'user1@mail.com') {
currentIssue.setCustomFieldValue(sampleNumber, Double.parseDouble('1.5'))
} else if (reporter.emailAddress == 'user2@mail.com') {
currentIssue.setCustomFieldValue(sampleNumber, Double.parseDouble('2.5'))
}
issueManager.updateIssue(currentUser, currentIssue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)
Below is a screenshot of the Automation configuration:-
I have tested this code, and it is working in my environment.
Below is a test screenshot for your reference:-
I hope this helps to solve your question. :-)
I am looking forward to your feedback.

A minor suggestion. When you have a solution to suggest, it would be best to add it using Suggest an Answer for the first time instead of the reply so it is easier to identify your solution.
Have you given a try to the latest solution I have suggested above, i.e.:-
If you are using Automation, all you have to do for Issue Created / Issue Update is this:-
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
def currentIssue = issue as MutableIssue
def reporter = currentIssue.reporter
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def sampleNumber = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName('Sample Number').first()
if (reporter.emailAddress == 'user1@mail.com') {
currentIssue.setCustomFieldValue(sampleNumber, Double.parseDouble('1.5'))
} else if (reporter.emailAddress == 'user2@mail.com') {
currentIssue.setCustomFieldValue(sampleNumber, Double.parseDouble('2.5'))
}
issueManager.updateIssue(currentUser, currentIssue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)Below is a screenshot of the Automation configuration:-

If yes, may I know the result?
