ScriptRunner Groovy Condition Question - Custom Field Is Not Null

MAG-II

Hello -

I believe what I am trying to achieve in a ScriptRunner post function should be fairly straight forward. I am trying to have an action trigger in the post function if the custom field is not null. The custom field type is a text field. So far I have:

issue.get("customfield_11203") != null

This does not seem to work for me. Obviously I am very new to Groovy as well as scripting in general. I would really appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

You can use just

cfValues['My Field Name']?.value

if you are using a Simple scripted condition

edit: didn't see you are using it in a postfunction condition, but syntax is the same.

also, there should be "show examples" button below the script window, try looking at them

hello @MAG-II

try something like this

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
// here you get the custom field manager
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
//from the manager you get the field
def cField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_id")
//then you get the value of the field 
def cFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cField)
// here you can compare with null

MAG-II

Thanks for the response. I am getting tripped up with the last line you've written,

def cFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cField)
// here you can compare with null

Not sure what I am meant to do here. So far I have:

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_11203")
def cFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cField)

issue.get("customfield_11203") != null

I do believe once I better understand the concept of defining all of this information maybe I will be able to understand better how to think about this conceptually. I am struggling at the moment though.

no problem @MAG-II

the last line should be :

cFieldValue != null

MAG-II

Really appreciate your time. I think I am almost there. You can see in the attached screen that I get an error after the def, on the "c"

what you want to do is something like this

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
// here you get the custom field manager
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
//from the manager you get the field
def cField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_id")
//then you get the value of the field 
def cFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cField)
// here you can compare with null

if (cFieldValue != NULL){
// do something here
}

Right - the "Show Examples" button is how I got to trying out:

issue.get("customfield_11203") != null

The attached screen of your example is also giving me errors. The ScriptRunner version that I am running is 5.6.1.1-jira8. I apologize for not being up to speed with this, and I appreciate all of the patience.

what version of scriptrunner are you using?

Ilya Turov

I'm not sure they've changed the API that drastically, maybe try just

cfValues['User ID']

guess your field is string type and it should be enough
