Setting issue security level based on issue type value using scriptrunner

[John Diaz]

I'm trying to set a security level value based on the issue type selected using ScriptRunner Listener. 

I think this somewhat similar to this question but using issue type instead  of custom field - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Adaptavist-questions/Setting-issue-security-level-based-on-custom-field-value-using-a/qaq-p/1592935

My project uses four issue types: Bug, Task, Epic and Story.  What I'm trying to achieve using the ScriptRunner is if someone creates a ticket using Bug or Task issue type then it will automatically set the Security Level to Security A. If Epic or Story is selected then it will automatically set the Security Level to Security B.

How do I do that using ScriptRunner?  I don't know if I should be creating a Listener or using Post Function script (e.g. set issue security level depending on condition). My knowledge of groovy scripting is at the bottom of the totem pole so I would need someone to help me write the script and I can plug and play.

@John Diaz, 

You can use a listener or a post function, either would work!

Here is an example of a listener:

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

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

if(issue.issueTypeObject.name == "Bug" || issue.issueTypeObject.name == "Task"){
issue.setSecurityLevelId(10000);

}
else{
issue.setSecurityLevelId(10001);
}




def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()

issueManager.updateIssue(user,issue,EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH,true)

Credit to @Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_, his code was the basis for the answer!

You'll have to customize the two id's depending on your instance.

@Kian Stack Mumo Systems  Thank you so much!  Plug and play worked.
