Groovy script: Update single select custom field.

Alexander Yordanov

Hello,

 

I have a script that is looking into the Customer Request Type and depending on it, it updates a custom field called "IT Change Type" with the correct option. Options are "Norma", "Retro" and "Urgent".

Here is the code:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder

MutableIssue mutableIssue = (MutableIssue) issue;
log.info("issue: " + mutableIssue.toString());
def reqType = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Customer Request Type');
def reqTypeVal = mutableIssue.getCustomFieldValue(reqType).getValue();
log.info("Issue type: " + reqTypeVal);

def changeTypeId = 14430;
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
def CustomField changeType = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject(changeTypeId);


def fieldConfig = changeType.getRelevantConfig(issue);
switch (reqTypeVal) {
 case "itcm/e89992e0-cbf1-4208-ad24-e8ea100f2c33":
  def value = ComponentAccessor.optionsManager.getOptions(fieldConfig)?.find { it.toString() == 'Normal' };
  log.info("field option: " + value.toString());
  log.info("field name: " + changeType.toString());
  mutableIssue.setCustomFieldValue(changeType, value);
  break;

 case "itcm/3b6cb133-0971-48c4-8b53-d5a49af828ca":
  def value = ComponentAccessor.optionsManager.getOptions(fieldConfig)?.find { it.toString() == 'Urgent' };
  log.info("field option: " + value.toString());
  log.info("field name: " + changeType.toString());
  mutableIssue.setCustomFieldValue(changeType, value);
  break;

 case "itcm/74b2e0f8-33ef-4a14-a905-f1ef7460d6ae":
  def value = ComponentAccessor.optionsManager.getOptions(fieldConfig)?.find { it.toString() == 'Retro' };
  log.info("field option: " + value.toString());
  log.info("field name: " + changeType.toString());
  mutableIssue.setCustomFieldValue(changeType, value);
  break;


}

It seems like everything is working fine but the issue is not updated. Here is a sample log:

2019-02-12 06:22:48,441 [http-nio-8080-exec-4] | issue: ITCM-66
2019-02-12 06:22:48,443 [http-nio-8080-exec-4] | Issue type: itcm/74b2e0f8-33ef-4a14-a905-f1ef7460d6ae
2019-02-12 06:22:48,444 [http-nio-8080-exec-4] | field option: Retro
2019-02-12 06:22:48,444 [http-nio-8080-exec-4] | field name: IT Change Type

The script finds the option to the field correctly and the field itself but doesn't update the issue with the new value. There are no errors which is weird.

Any ideas?

Hi @Alexander Yordanov, I assume that you are using a Scripted Postfunction to achieve this. In which postfunction place did you put this script? Is in the create transition or another one?

The code seems fine, but the way you did it, you have to ensure that the script is running in the first place, or at least before the "update" postfunction.

Regards!
