User Group in a Custom Field

[Marc Jason Mutuc]

We would like to see on the ticket what groups the report of a ticket belongs to. What would be the best approach?

Tried looking at API but it doens't look available.

Hello,

You can use the Power Custom Fields add-on. It is a free add-on.

You can create a field with the following script:

return join(userGroups(reporter), ",");

Thanks! Although, free add-ons usually become paid add-ons or is discontinued. We have Script Runner.

But if you know how we can get that from API that would be awesome!

It would be like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

return ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager().getGroupsForUser(issue.getReporter())

Thanks!

Hi @Marc Jason Mutuc,

if you have Scriptrunner, maybe you can use a scripted field, that gets the information from the reporter and displays it.

[Marc Jason Mutuc]

Yes. I'm just having trouble getting it. Is it 

userUtil.getGroupNamesForUser

? 

[Bastian Stehmann]

I did that once, but do not have the script at hand. It was something like Alexey posted, so please just try his solution.
