Need help with Script Listeners to copy and lock a field value

Aisha M

Hi,

Can anyone please help me with how to use Script Listeners for the below scenario,

Field 1) Epic Due Date

Field 2) Baseline Due Date (Date picker)

I want to make sure that Field 1 copies the value of Field 2 the FIRST time its filled while the issue is created. Later , even thought the Field 2 value might be changed, the field 1 must not change its value and must be non editable (only viewable).

 

Thank you !

Hi @Aisha M ,

I would advise to create a Script Listener on the Create Issue event in appropriate projects. Make sure that this event is triggered in the workflows.Use this script (update the ids) : 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

int date1id = 12500
int date2id = 12501

def date1 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(date1id)
def date2 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(date2id)

def date1Value = issue.getCustomFieldValue(date1)
def date2Value = issue.getCustomFieldValue(date2)

date1.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(date1Value, date2Value), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())

Make sure field 1 is only on the View Issue screen so users cannot edit it.
