Trying to pull the option field from a cascading field and populate a people picker field

Rebecca Allen_71tisb

I'm new to scriptrunner but I'm trying to populate the Assignee with a name entered into a text box in a cascading field.

I found the script below on this site, but it's not working:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.impl.CascadingSelectCFType
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
Issue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("Rig Manager");
CustomField customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Cascade");
Map<String, Option> params = (HashMap<String,Option>) issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)
if (params != null) {
    Option parent = params.get(CascadingSelectCFType.PARENT_KEY)
    Option child = params.get(CascadingSelectCFType.CHILD_KEY)
}

Hi @Rebecca Allen,

I'm answering this by using some of the code I wrote before and also there some joining multiple scripts - hence, it is not tested and might need some tweaking:

 com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor<br>import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue<br>import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option<br>import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.impl.CascadingSelectCFType<br>import org.apache.log4j.Level<br>import org.apache.log4j.Logger<br><br>String parentValue, childValue<br><br>def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager()<br>def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()<br>def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()<br>def cField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_<ID>")<br>def cFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cField)<br><br>HashMap<String, Option> hashMapEntries = (HashMap<String, Option>) cFieldValue<br><br>if (hashMapEntries !=<span>&nbsp;</span>null) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Option parent = hashMapEntries.get(CascadingSelectCFType.PARENT_KEY)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Option child = hashMapEntries.get(CascadingSelectCFType.CHILD_KEY)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;parentValue = parent.toString()<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;childValue = child.toString()<br>}<br><br>def user = ComponentAccessor.userManager.getUserByName(childValue)<br>issue.setAssignee(user)<br><br>import

• Provide the custom field ID at "customfield_<ID>".
• This script assumes that the assignee value is from the child value of the cascading custom field.

I hope that this helps.

Thanks,
Moga
