Script run as behavior but not as automation script

[Guy Marelly]

Hi all, I run the below script as behavior script and it works. When trying to run the code from automation rules I get some errors:

int selectListId = 16700

def selectList = getFieldById("customfield_" + selectListId)

String issuetype = getIssueContext().getIssueType().getName()

def map

switch (issuetype) {

    case "Epic":

        map = ["S", "M"]

        break;

    case "Initiative":

        map = ["L", "XL", "XXL"]

        break;

}

if (map) {

    selectList.setFieldOptions(map)

}

The error I get:

[Static type checking] - Cannot find matching method Script1428#getFieldById(java.lang.String). Please check if the declared type is correct and if the method exists.

[Static type checking] - Cannot find matching method Script1428#getIssueContext(). Please check if the declared type is correct and if the method exists.

[Static type checking] - Cannot find matching method java.lang.Object#setFieldOptions(java.util.List <java.lang.String>). Please check if the declared type is correct and if the method exists.

Can you please assist how this issue can be resolved?

Hi @Guy Marelly ,

I'm afraid that's normal. A behaviour and a Job/Listener (which I assume you use as an automation) work differently.

A behaviour is based on the UI/Screen and has specific methods available such as getFieldById()

These methods don't work in a standalone script so you'll have to rewrite it to actually work in the job/listener context.

I suggest checking out the adaptavist documentation first https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4js/latest/features/jobs

TLDR; behaviours use different methods than jobs/listener so you'll have to use the right ones.

Thanks Dirk for your quick reply and explanation!

I'll check the documentation you've recommended.
