[Swarna Radha]

Hi,

I want to set the approver name in to a custom field B (mulitple user picker).

Is this possible?

Thanks

Swarna

There's a very similar question (with correct answer that will get you pointed in the right direction) over at https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/I-need-help-copying-the-assignee-field-to-a-user-picker-custom/qaq-p/872633#M279889

Hi Nic,

I am getting error on the following line

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG)


CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
def userCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Approved by (Dev)")
List<ApplicationUser> userAlreadyInCustomField = issue.getCustomFieldValue(userCf) //getting error
log.debug("User list: $userAlreadyInCustomField");
issue.setCustomFieldValue(userCf, userAlreadyInCustomField);
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser();
IssueManager issueManager=ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
issueManager.updateIssue(user,issue,EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED,true);

thanks

"getting error" does not tell us anything about the problem.  What is the error?

Hi @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-,

I am unable to set the person who did the transition in the custom field .

Please see my code:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
CustomField CF = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Approved by IT- Appli Dev LM/TL");
List<ApplicationUser> users;
if(users == null)
users = new ArrayList<>();

users.add(ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName("Username"))
issue.setCustomFieldValue(CF, users);

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
issueManager.updateIssue(user,issue,EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED,true);

I am getting the error too. I tried (I believe) everything - no luck.
