How to copy collection (select, multiselect, radio) values into sub-task(s) within a post-function?

Douglas Johnson

I've created a post-function that creates sub-tasks based on checked checkbox values in a transition screen. As part of the sub-task creation, I want to copy all relevant parent fields into each sub-task. It's working fine for simple values, but I've been unable to copy selected values from select/multiselect/radio elements from the parent into the subtask. 

Not only have I been unable to figure this out thus far, I can't find a wholly relevant example to refer to.

This works for a simple field:

...

emailAddressField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Email Address")
emailAddressValue = emailAddressField.getValue(issue)

IssueInputParameters issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters().with {
...
addCustomFieldValue(emailAddressField.id, emailAddressValue)
...
}

 

But this doesn't work for a select element:

...

inquiryTypeField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Inquiry Type")
inquiryTypeValue = inquiryTypeField.getValue(issue)

IssueInputParameters issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters().with {
...

addCustomFieldValue(inquiryTypeField.id, inquiryTypeValue );

...
}

 

The error on the latter is groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: org.codehaus.groovy.jsr223.GroovyScriptEngineImpl.addCustomFieldValue() is applicable for argument types: (String, ArrayList) values: [customfield_10207, [My Value]]

 

Any feedback or assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I haven't worked with IssueInputParamters much ... but based on the method description it looks like it expects only string values (and multiple arguments if you have multiple values.

 

Try this for a single select

addCustomFieldValue(inquiryTypeField.id, inquiryTypeValue.optionId.toString() );

Or this for a multi-select

 addCustomFieldValue(inquiryTypeField.id, inquiryTypeValue*.optionId as String[] );
