Set custom field value when comment author is in specific project role

[Christopher Codding]

Hello,

 I'm trying to find a way to set a custom field on an issue when it is commented on by users in a specific role. For example, set field to 'x' when commented is added by a user in the 'QA' project role.

The project automation add-on allows me to do this by setting conditions based on user groups, but I'd prefer to leverage project roles.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Chris

Hello,

You can develop a listener, which would work on the Issue Commented event. You could check the required condition and update the custom field value. Or you could use such plugins as Power Scripts or ScriptRunner to develop such a listener.

Thanks Alexey!

I'm relatively new to scripting with JIRA, but ScriptRunner seems like it should work.
