Jira script listner how do i get component value on transition/edit screen

Question

Hi,

I am looking the way to get values selected in components on Transition/Edit screen and update it using script listener. Which Listener needs to select and how to write script. I needs this update as soon as someone select component on Edit screen or transition screen to show values in another db field to display user list based on above selected component.

Thanks in advance.

Hi! You can try this code: import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue import com.atlassian.jira.project.version.Version import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.component.ProjectComponent IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueManager.class) Issue updatedIssue = event.getIssue() Collection componentList = new ArrayList() componentList = updatedIssue.getComponents() Collection subTasks = updatedIssue.getSubTaskObjects() subTasks.each { if (it instanceof MutableIssue) { ((MutableIssue) it).setComponent(componentList) issueManager.updateIssue(event.getUser(), it, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false) } }

https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/update-the-value-of-a-custom-field-using-a-listener can give you the skeleton of a listener which is close to what you want to do.

You can use issue.getComponents() to get the list of components from the issue.
