How to flag an issue using Java API (scriptrunner Listener)

Adrien SITTER

Hello everyone,

I am trying to propagate to parents the fact that I flag a subtask.

I have created a first version of a Listener.

I am on it since 3 days, trying every way I know to update an issue. Everywhere I can read that I just need to change custom field "Flagged" but I can not make it work, it is never saved.

I have an other version using ModifiedValue that does not work either.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

def issue = event.issue
def change = event.changeLog.getRelated("ChildChangeItem").find {it.field == "Flagged"}

if (!change) {
    return
}

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

def comment = event.comment
def parent = (MutableIssue) issue.parentObject

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.optionsManager
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {
    it.name == 'Flagged'
}
def fieldConfig = cf.getRelevantConfig(parent)
def value = optionsManager.getOptions(fieldConfig)?.find {
    it.toString() == 'Impediment'
}
def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder();

if (change.newstring == "Impediment") {
    log.warn ("issue: " + issue.key + " has been Flagged with comment: " + comment)
    parent.setCustomFieldValue(cf, [value])
    issueManager.updateIssue(user, parent, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)
    log.warn ("Should have flagged parent issue: " + parent.key + " with value: " + value)
} else {
    log.warn ("issue: " + issue.key + " has been Unflagged with comment: " + comment)
}

 

I also found this: https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-software/6.7.6/com/atlassian/greenhopper/service/issue/flagging/FlagService.html

 

But it seems that this API does not exist anymore since the compiler can not find "com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.issue.flagging.FlagService"

Does any one have any idea?

Thank you very much

Hi @Adrien SITTER 

What happens with your script?

I see nothing wrong with it. What version of Jira are you on?

When I run this script (which uses all the same components your does) in my console, I see the flag added to the board on the specified issue

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
def user = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
def im = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def cfm = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def om = ComponentAccessor.optionsManager

def flag = cfm.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Flagged')
def issue = im.getIssueObject('JSP-4395')
def fieldConfig = flag.getRelevantConfig(issue)
def value = om.getOptions(fieldConfig)?.find {
   it.value == 'Impediment'
}

issue.setCustomFieldValue(flag, [value])
im.updateIssue(user,issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

issue.getCustomFieldValue(flag)

 Ah... wait a minute, when I tried to get the parent object as a MutableIssue, it didn't work for me either. I'm not sure why not.

You could try this instead:

def parent = issueManager.getIssueObject(issue.parentObject.id)
