Adaptavist Scriptrunner - How to record date/time into an empty field during a transition?

Question

Hello,

I am creating a post function that would record the date/time of a transition into the "Dev Done Test" field (if it's empty). I am trying to write a script that would do exactly that, but with no luck.

-------------------------------------------------------

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import java.sql.Timestamp;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find { it.name == "Dev Done Test" }
def cfValues = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)
def dateCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_13300") // Date time fields require a Timestamp

if (cfValues['dateCf'] == null) {
issue.setCustomFieldValue(dateCf, new Timestamp((new Date()).time))
}

-------------------------------------------------------

Could you tell me what am I doing wrong, please?

This should work:

if (issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)==null){
    def today = new Timestamp(new Date().time)
    cf.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf),today),changeHolder)
}

Hello Fran,

thank you - as stated above, could you please tell me what should I add to make the script conditional? Ex. When the field is empty, to not modify it?

The use case is that we want this field filled during one transition OR at another one (but if the second, later one, happens, we don't want the contents of the field to be overwritten).

Hello Ravi,

our stakeholders store the information when the issue was in "Dev Done" status in a report of tens of issues, so it's a bit harder to browse issue by issue.

Thanks for the link. Could you please tell me what should I add to make the script conditional? Ex. When the field is empty, to not modify it?
