Script to read custom field using script runner not working

Jeff Hayes_4uojru

I've attempted to use the code listed in this closed thread:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/Looking-for-a-script-to-fill-customfield-multiple-checkboxes-in/qaq-p/543685

Modified as such to use the actual name of my custom field:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

CustomField customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Value Statement Impact")

StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder()
((List<Option>) issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)).each {
stringBuilder.append(it.getValue()).append(", ")
}

return stringBuilder.toString()

 

However, I am getting the following error when doing so:

The script could not be compiled: <pre>org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: Script5.groovy: 9: expecting ')', found 'issue' @ line 9, column 24. ((List&lt;Option&gt;) issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)).each { ^ 1 error </pre>.

 

Can someone comment as to where I may have made an error in my copy/paste of the code?

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi @Jeff Hayes 

What is the type of your custom field?

I modified your code slightly.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

CustomField customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Value Statement Impact")

return issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField[0])

This should get you the value in the custom field but based on your custom field type you need to write a bit more code to get the value in a proper format.
