Behaviours Prepopulate currentUser into user picker on Create screen

Tomáš Vrabec_mlkuef

Hi Community,

looking for the solution for one of my clients.

They would like to have a Custom user user picker called "Requestor" have prepopulated with currentUser when they open the Create screen.

We got Behaviors available, but I am not able to make it work.

Can you hint me guys pls?

Cheers, Tom

Something like...

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

if (getActionName() == "Create Issue") {
  // Get the current user
  def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
  // Get the Requestor field
  def requestor = getFieldByName("Requestor")
  requestor.setFormValue(currentUser.key)
}

** not tested, wrote from memory.

Or maybe just set the field the same as reporter (assuming they can't change the field on Create)

They can do change on the create.

The point behind this is to not disturb user by filling this, if they are requesting on their own behalf, but give them option to change that, if they are requesting on behalf of someone else.

Will try this one, not skilled with this level of scripting at all.

@JiraJared solved with slightly modified code

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
// Get the current user
def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
// Get the Requestor field
def requestor = getFieldById("customfield_10301")
if (requestor.formValue == "") {
requestor.setFormValue(currentUser.key)
}
