Change the due date based on priority field

Stéphane Eursels

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie with groovy script and ScriptRunner.

I search a script in Post fonction to set the due date regarding the priority field value.

I have found some examples but they doesn't work.

The first example I've found is :

def dueDateField = issue.dueDate
def Sev = issue.priority

def dateToSet

if (Sev == "Critical") {
dateToSet = new Date() + 1
} else if (Sev == "Hight") {
dateToSet = new Date() + 5
} else if (Sev == "Medium") {
dateToSet = new Date() + 20
} else if (Sev == "Low") {
dateToSet = new Date() + 30
} else if (Sev == "Lowest") {
dateToSet = new Date() + 90
}

issue.setDueDate(dateToSet)

I have put it into the Custom ScriptRunner Post Fonction of creation transition.

I can save it without error and no failure when the script is running but the field Due date stay empty.

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks for your answer.

I work on Jira Software 8.3.4 with ScriptRunner 5.9.1-p5.

Hi @Stéphane Eursels

I have made some pseudo Groovy code. But important thing to look at is the last line in the code example where the actual issue update is happening.

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

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

MutableIssue mutableIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(issue?.id);

def priorityField = mutableIssue.priority
def dateToSet = null

if (priorityField == "Critical") {
    dateToSet = new Date() + 1
} else if (priorityField == "Hight") {
    dateToSet = new Date() + 5
} else if (priorityField == "Medium") {
    dateToSet = new Date() + 20
} else if (priorityField == "Low") {
    dateToSet = new Date() + 30
} else if (priorityField == "Lowest") {
    dateToSet = new Date() + 90
}
// Set date
mutableIssue.setDueDate(dateToSet)

// Update issue
issueManager.updateIssue(user, mutableIssue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

Hope this will help you get further.
