Not able to add value to custom field list in python jira

sohny.pulikien

I have custom field which takes a list of users , I am not able to update it with new values using jira python script. Please find below the method i have used

-> testuser = jira.user('rtracy')

(Pdb)

> /u/cm/sandbox/createG2jira_test.py(50)create_G2()

-> G2_issue.fields.customfield_14904.append(testuser)

(Pdb) testlist = G2_issue.fields.customfield_14904

(Pdb) p testlist

[<JIRA User: displayName='Jai Dembla', key='jdembla', name='jdembla'>, <JIRA User: displayName='Ramesh Babu Nidadavolu', key='rbabu', name='rbabu'>, <JIRA User: displayName='Rick Stoneking', key='rstoneking', name='rstoneking'>, <JIRA User: displayName='Vakil Arora', key='varora1', name='varora1'>]

(Pdb) testlist.append(testuser)

(Pdb) p testlist

(Pdb) G2_issue.update(fields={'customfield_14904': testlist } )

*** TypeError: Object of type 'User' is not JSON serializable

I am not sure what I am doing wrong

Hi!

the method expect to have a list of usernames instead the list of User Objects

Did you get it resolved?

Thanks

Yes I was able to resolve it as mentioned above by Gonchik. code snippet below:

issue.update( {"customfield_14904":[{"name" : "spolakoen"},{"name" : "rtrimbed"}]})

I was trying to append user to the list without disrupting existing users in the list.

Same like your code

for issue in jira.search_issues('project = "xyz" and issuetype = Epic and status not in (Closed) and Testers in (rkapoor)', maxResults=100):

print('{}: {}'.format(issue.key, issue.fields.customfield_10600))

testuser = jira.user('rkapoor1')

testlist = issue.fields.customfield_10600

testlist.append(testuser)

testlist1 = ','.join([str(i) for i in testlist])

print(testlist1) //to check in console

issue.update(fields={"customfield_10600": testlist1})

It does not work at all.

Thanks

You are again doing the same mistake which i did, ur taking an object of username... i suggest u directly pass the name string .

Ex: the line

testuser = jira.user('rkapoor1')

is the culprit. this will give u an object which is not useful. instead pass the name string rkapoor to name feild as is

issue.update(fields={"customfield_10600": [{"name" : "rkapoor1"}]}
