Hi Guys and Gals,

Absolutely pulling my hair out with this. Have scoured the bowels of the internet and kinda cobbled a script together. It is as follows....

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssueString 

userName;switch(ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Overtime Type").toString()){

    case "TOIL": userName = "user1";break;
    case "PAID": userName = "user2";break;

}issue.setAssignee(ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName(userName))

I am attempting to do this as a post-function on the create transition.

Please please can anyone help. I am using JIRA 8.5.4

Thanks in advance and hoping for a favourable reply,

Darren

Hi @Virtual Chat Bot

You can't update an issue like that. You'll need to call 'issueService.validateUpdate()' after that you can call issueService.update() to actually update the value/s.

Hope this helps otherwise let me know

So with the correct usernames in there i still get the error and the assignee field is not populated. Any ideas?

Also make sure that the scriptrunner post-function script is the last on the post-function list otherwise it wont work

Thanks for answering so quickly Mathis. I'm a bit lost to be honest. Is it possible you could help me with my code? Thanks so much.

Something like this, but then again i dont know which type the field you wanna update is. If its a user picker field and not a text field this code needs some correction.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def getCustomFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.userManager
def issueService = ComponentAccessor.issueService

def overtimeTypeField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Overtime Type")
def overtimeTypeValue = overtimeTypeField.getValue().toString()

def theFieldYouWannaSet = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Name of the field")

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def issueInputParameters = new IssueInputParameters()

if (overtimeTypeValue.equals("TOIL")) {

    issueInputParameter.addCustomFieldValue(theFieldYouWannaSet.id, "user1")

}
else if (overtimeTypeValue.equals("PAID")) {

    issueInputParameter.addCustomFieldValue(theFieldYouWannaSet.id, "user2")

}

def validateUpdateResult = issueService.validateUpdate(currentUser, issue.id, issueInputParameters)

if (validateUpdateResult.isValid()) {

    issueService.update(currentUser, validateUpdateResult)

}

Also i see a mistake i made.

def getCustomFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager

should be replaced with

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager

I think we are close

Sorry, I should have just tested it. This should work

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.userManager
def issueService = ComponentAccessor.issueService

def overtimeTypeField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Overtime Type")[0]
def overtimeTypeValue = overtimeTypeField.getValue(issue)

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters()

def user

if (overtimeTypeValue.equals("TOIL")) {

user = userManager.getUserByName("user1")

} 
else if (overtimeTypeValue.equals("PAID")) {

user = userManager.getUserByName("user2")

}

issueInputParameters.setAssigneeId(user.getUsername())

def validateUpdateResult = issueService.validateUpdate(currentUser, issue.id, issueInputParameters)

if (validateUpdateResult.isValid()) {

issueService.update(currentUser, validateUpdateResult)

}
