Writing a Groovy Expression for my Post Function to Change a Custom Field Value

Cole

I am trying to write a Groovy Expression for Set Field Value to constant or Groovy expression Function. I want it to change a group lookup custom field value based on what exists in another custom field. I cannot seem to get it to work correctly. I think it is my syntax that is off.

Here is what I have currently:

if(issue.get("customfield_18173") == "Desktop" || issue.get("customfield_18173"  == "Support" || issue.get("customfield_18593") == "Desktop" || issue.get("customfield_18593") == "Support"){
setCustomFieldValue("customfield_18594", "Help Desk");
}

It all depends on where you are trying to use your Groovy expression. If it's during a transition, you should use the Set Field Value to Constant or Groovy Expression post-function, with "Help Desk" as the value (text) and just the test as the conditional Groovy expression:

issue.get("customfield_18173") == "Desktop" || issue.get("customfield_18173"  == "Support" || issue.get("customfield_18593") == "Desktop" || issue.get("customfield_18593") == "Support"

Your syntax is incorrect, you have to use customFieldManager and issuse.getCustomFieldValue() method.

Please see here - https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/188266

And once you have the value you just need to update the value based on if condition just like - https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/211505

issue.get("customfield_18173") == "Desktop" || issue.get("customfield_18173"  == "Support" || issue.get("customfield_18593") == "Desktop" || issue.get("customfield_18593") == "Support"

Well that's what I had initially and it worked, however, I will be doing this for over 50 different constant values and I was hoping I could do it all in one post function instead of 50 different ones. What is the point of the Groovy Expression option in place of a raw value?

Cole

And this works within the groovy expression box on post function?

In the Groovy expression of the Set Field Value post-function, you can put some complex logic (like a cascade of ifs, or switch statements). The limitation is that if you want to not change the field value under some condition, you'll actually need to return... the current value of the field (using issue.get of course).

So, you can do something like:

if(issue.get("customfield_18173") == "Desktop" || issue.get("customfield_18173"  == "Support" || issue.get("customfield_18593") == "Desktop" || issue.get("customfield_18593") == "Support")
  return "Help Desk";
if ([...])
  return "something else";
[...]
return "otherwise";

Oh wow, I guess I was just making it way more complicated than it needed to be. I will give this a shot.
