Help with script for adding watchers on Create

Dharma Ramos

Hello,

I have been reading a lot of community Q&A about using Scriptrunner to add a watcher on create based on a custom field. I put this together, added it after Creates the issue originally and after Re-Index and issue. It is not giving me an error, and there have been no failures on executions, but it is also not adding the watcher. Anyone care to opine? In case it matters, jira server v8.3.4 and Scriptrunner v5.6.2

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()

def cfManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def cf = cfManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_xxxxx")
def user = userManager.getUserByKey("uname")

def cfFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)

if (cfFieldValue == 'Value'){
watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue)
}

Hi @Dharma Ramos

you can try placing this function in the bottom of the order, also attaching my snippet for reference

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

if(issue.getSummary() == "Watcher Adding"){
    ApplicationUser user = userManager.getUserByName("UsernName")
    watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue)
}

(I tried this snippet and it does works for me)

BR,

Leo

Tried it at the bottom and it did not work.

Is your code looking for the Summary? How do I define or get the value of a custom field using your suggestion?

Leo_e8op2r

Here you go for Custom Field value

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cField= customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Custom Field Name")

def value = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cField)

if(value == "Something"){

   //Do something....

}

In your script you missed "ById" in getCustomfield method so the code is

def cf = cfManager.getCustomFieldObjectById("customfield_xxxxx")

So putting your suggestions together would look like this? It still did not work. Also, please note some comments in the script.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cField= customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Custom Field Name") //this line is giving me a warning to use customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName instead

def value = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cField) //if I switch it to what it suggests above it says it cannot find this method.

if(value == "Something"){
ApplicationUser user = userManager.getUserByName("uname")
watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue)
}
