Using Groovy script to set Criticality field value of a JIRA issue to be "Blocker".

Question

Hello everybody,

Does anyone know how to write a Groovy script and apply it to a JIRA system so that when an email is sent with an exclamation mark (!) in the subject field of the email, a JIRA issue is created with the Criticality field value set as "Blocker".

Thanks in advance.

I think you should add the script as postfunction in Create Transition.

Hi There,

create a postfunction that runs the following groovy script

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue

Issue issue  = issue

if (issue.getSummary().contains("!")){

issue.setPriorityId( '1' );

}

Test it first.

Hope that works
