Create Listener that will change priority field based on a custom field

Matthew Zdonczik

Hello,

I am trying to create a listener that will change the system field "Priority" to a certain value whenever I change the value of a custom field.

I am new to groovy so I don't really know where to start.

For example, my custom field has 10 values, 1-10. And I need to have the Priority field change based on one of those 10 values.

So say 1 = Major, 2 = Moderate etc

And I don't think I can use this a a post function as I need to be able to just edit the field and then have the priority change whether it is moving down the workflow or not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi @Matthew Zdonczik,

Below Script would give you some idea

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParametersImpl
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

def issue = event.issue as Issue
def constantsManager = ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager()
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser()
def issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService()
def issueInputParameters = new IssueInputParametersImpl()

def cfField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Custom Field Name")
def value = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfField) as Double // if it is a number field
if(value == 1){
issueInputParameters.setPriorityId(constantsManager.getPriorityObjects().findByName("P1").id)
}else if(value == 2){
issueInputParameters.setPriorityId(constantsManager.getPriorityObjects().findByName("P2").id)
}else{
issueInputParameters.setPriorityId(constantsManager.getPriorityObjects().findByName("P3").id)
}

def validationResult = issueService.validateUpdate(user, issue.id, issueInputParameters)

if (validationResult.isValid()) {
issueService.update(user, validationResult)
} else {
log.warn validationResult.errorCollection.errors
}

BR,

Leo

Hi @Leo thank you for your response!

This didn't quite work for me just yet.

My custom field a Select List (Single choice) issue type and the values are numbers.

Would that change anything here?

Sorry if these are not good questions, this is my first time dealing with this

@Matthew Zdonczik

Have you changed field name in below line?

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

Also have you changed valid Priority name(s) in if..else part?

I did write this script to deal with number field only also I'm not considering issuetype here

please verify events and project(s) mapped with this listener and pass me error log if you see any

Hi @Leo

Yes, I have changed the "Custom Field Name" to the name of the custom field I created and it is using numbers as the values.

I currently have it mapped to 1 project that I am testing it out on and have it mapped to "All Issue Events"

Is there something else I may be doing wrong?

For Priority levels, should I be using the actual string of the Priority? (minor, moderate, etc.) Or should I use the id value?
