Programatically set the colour of an Epic using ScriptRunner

Chris Preece

I'm trying to programatically set the colour of an Epic on create. I'm using a Scriptrunner Post Function on the create transition

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
if(issue.issueType.name == "Epic")
{
  final customFieldName = "Epic Colour"
  final newValue = "ghx-label-5"
  def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
  def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find { it.name == customFieldName }
  assert customField: "Could not find custom field with name $customFieldName"
  log.warn(issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField))
  issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField, newValue)
  log.warn(issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField))
}

It's logging (2nd log.warn) that the field value has changed, but the colour doesn't update and when I check the field value in the UI, it's unchanged.

I tried it on other transitions and adjusted the order of the post-function.

If you add the field "Epic Colour" to an edit screen, it displays and allows you to change the "ghx-label-xx" to another value.

Wich is your postfunction order? Is it at the top?

If not, try it to place your postfunction at the very begining.

 

Alternatively, you can try the following:

<span>import</span> com<span>.</span>atlassian<span>.</span>jira<span>.</span>issue<span>.</span>ModifiedValue
<span>import</span> com<span>.</span>atlassian<span>.</span>jira<span>.</span>issue<span>.</span>util<span>.</span>DefaultIssueChangeHolder

customField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField), newValue), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())
