Updating list type custom field with a groovy script don't work in Jira 4.4

Benoit D'Amours

Hi everybody,

In Jira 4.1.2, we used a groovy script and Atlassian API to update a single select list custom field value using this kind of code (cfCustomFieldDDL is the custom field object, adStd is the issue, "None" exist in the options list):

cfCustomFieldDDL.updateValue(null, adStd, new ModifiedValue(adStd.getCustomFieldValue(cfCustomFieldDDL), "None"), changeHolder);

This was effectively setting the selected item of the drop down list to "None". Now that we just upgrade to Jira 4.4.4, this dont work anymore because the customfieldvalue table (stringvalue field) now store the ID of the string, instead of the string itself. I tried to update the customfield with the ID of the string (supplied either as "12245" or 12245) but this dont work.

Please help, this is blocking for me!

Since Jira 4.4 you need to pass an Option object, not the id of the option ss String. You find more information in this answer https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/30084/updating-selectlist-cf-values-changes-from-jira-4-3-to-4-4

So in your example instead of "none" pass optionsManager.findByOptionId(new Long(12245))

It make sense, but script runner seems unable to load the requiered packages

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager

for the code:

OptionsManager optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager();
Option oSTCouranteDDL = optionsManager.findByOptionId(new Long(12251));
cfSousTacheCouranteDDL.updateValue(null, adStd, new ModifiedValue(adStd.getCustomFieldValue(cfSousTacheCouranteDDL), oSTCouranteDDL), changeHolder);

I got these errors:

Caused by: org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
Script9.groovy: 10: unable to resolve class com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager
@ line 10, column 1.

^

Script9.groovy: 76: unable to resolve class Option
@ line 76, column 8.
Option oSTCouranteDDL = optionsManager.findByOptionId(new Long(12251));

Did i miss something?

Add a .* at the end of the import lines to import all classes in the packages com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option and com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager
