Set Component Lead in post function

Question

Hello,

Is there any way how to set Component Lead for a specific project in a post function in a workflow ?

My idea or use case is, that I have to choose IT Technician, who is supposed to be on duty, so I would like him to be set as Component Lead in project "IT Support" (IS) for Components ABC and XYZ, and tickets are automatically assigned to Component Lead, so all issues are assigned to him. I do not want to set him manually to Component Lead role, I want to have it automatized (imagine adding different Technician to 10 Components every day). My idea is that I will create a ticket and set him as Assignee and in Post function for Create issue will be configured that Assignee will be set as Component Lead for specified Components, but I do not know how to do that. I'm able to use add-ons ScriptRunner and JWT.

Thank you very much for your help!

BR, JJ.

Assuming this is being done in a post function, then issue.getAssignee() will get you the assignee,

In your script, components is set to a list of components, not a single one, you will need to iterate over that list, setting each element's lead individually.  Or do it one at a time, with three findbyname statement which should give you a single component directly.  I've only every findbyname with single items.

Hi Nic,

Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately I'm a total newbie in using ScriptRunner, so I do not know how to write a functional script :-(

My use case is:

* I have project IT Support (IS) and this project has multiple Components: AD, Cisco, Other and more
* I create a ticket to this project and assign it to someone, let's say the username of the Assignee is jan.jenik
* I need to change the Component Lead in this project for Components AD, Cisco and Other to Assignee of the ticket, so in this case jan.jenik

So it is not about Components in the ticket, but about components in the Project and its Component Leads. Maybe this can be done other way, but I do not know how..

I do not know how to write the exact code, it should be like:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager()
def project = projectManager.getProjectObjByName("IT Support")
def components = project.getComponents().findByName("AD" OR "Cisco" OR "Other")
def newLead = getCurrentIssueAssignee()

components.setLead(newLead)

I do not know how to figure out the part getCurrentIssue Assignee and how to set Component Lead somehow like component.setLead() it just does not show me any option to set it. Also project.getComponents().findByName("AD" OR "Cisco" OR "Other") cannot have OR and multiple strings in brackets.

I hope it is understandable.

Thanks, JJ.

With Scriptrunner, what did you try?

I'd start from something that probably includes lines like

* import com.atlassian.jira.pageobjects.project.components
* issue.getComponents()
* component.setLead( <user> )

But obviously, I don't know how you are choosing the user to set or where you're getting the component from.
