Set default field value for user picker field dynamically in JIRA

[Sergey Shmarkatyuk]

I would like to set default value of user picker field as a current user.

What I'm trying to do is to attach following behaviour to the field I want to initiate with default value:

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormField
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager

def requestorField = getFieldByName('Requestor')

def currentUserName = ComponentManager.getInstance().getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser().getName()
requestorField.setFormValue(currentUserName)

But it does not work for some reason.

Is there any way to do that? Maybe I'm doing something wrong in my script?

Thanks

False alarm. Problem appeared to be with the behaviour mapping.

Just a guess - have you tried setting the field's value to User object instead of String, that is, remove the ".getName()" part?

[Sergey Shmarkatyuk]

already tried this. it didn't help

[Andris Bērziņš]

Hehe, i was stabbing in the dark anyway :) Glad you got it resolved

[Andris Bērziņš]

Second guess: replace single quotes with double quotes?

[Sergey Shmarkatyuk]

Andris, thanks for your prompt reaction. Issue has been resolved.

[Sergey Shmarkatyuk]

sorry, it turned out to be related to behaviour mapping

What you have should work - looks ok to me anyway... What version of jira, version of plugin?
