how to extract last comment author using a Groovy script?

Peter Bengov

I understand that running a JQL like issueFunction in lastCommented("inGroup support") isn't possible via Script Runner, so I'm trying to extract the user which made the last comment with Scripted Fields and save it into the User Picker template. 

I'm using the following code snippet to extract the user

def lastCommenter = ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil().getUserObject(ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(CommentManager.class).getComments(issue).last().author);

2 problems with this:

• If indeed I chose the User Picker template, then the value that is returned to the ticket (under users section) is Anonymous.
• If I use the Text Field template, I get the user + number like so: user.name:1000

Can you suggest a way to either extract the the tickets that had their last comment by a user from a specific group or a way to return the current value via Groovy?

Thanks

Anonymous is returned because the User Picker is expecting a different data type different from the one returned by getUserObject.

You can use the following snippet to show the user in a User Picker template:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def comments = ComponentAccessor.commentManager.getComments(issue)
if (comments) {
    return comments.last().authorApplicationUser
}

On the other hand, if you want to extract the value to a Text Field template, you can do something like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def comments = ComponentAccessor.commentManager.getComments(issue)
if (comments) {
    return comments.last().authorFullName
}

Hope that helps
