How to get user for ScriptRunner listener event?

alexmears

Currently

I have ScripterRunner Cloud Listeners setup for Issue Updated, IssueLink created / deleted events.

Problem

I want to get the User that triggered these events, as I want to use the User to trigger new events.

 

e.g. issue = issue, event = event

But there is no "user" or "event.user"

unknown

I didn't work with Scriptrunner in Jira Cloud, but I know that on server you can get the change history with the ChangeHistoryManager and find out who the "author" of the change is.

So something like this could be an idea:

List<ChangeHistory> changes = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager().getChangeHistories(event.issue);
ApplicationUser latestUser = changes.get(changes.size()-1).getAuthorObject();

 

If you can't use those things in scriptrunner, you'll have to get the issue changelog through the rest api and find the author of the latest change. (It's sorted by date starting from the oldest)

/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/changelog
