Interact with Description field content

Philippe Beltran

I would like that description field content is adjusted based on the checkbox, radio button selection using behaviours description field.png in scriptrunner.

All this should happen before Issue is created (using Raise a request).

I've searched and tested many codes but the field remains empty, whatever I tried to code.

Thanks for your help

Hey @Philippe Beltran ,

Without knowing the code you've already tried I think you should be able to continue based on your previous behaviors.

In the API quick reference there is specific example for the description field.

https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4js/latest/features/behaviours/api-quick-reference

First you need to ge the field of course:



def cfDescription = getFieldByName("Description")

but then you can set it like any other normal text field.

cfDescription.setFormValue("the text you want to set")

Hi @Dirk Ronsmans

I just tested that, unfortunately Description field remains empty.

Dirk Ronsmans

Any chance you could post the exact code you are using?

I'd be happy to try and reproduce it.

Hi @Dirk Ronsmans

Here is the simplified code I use to perform test:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormField
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option
def list1Field = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
def list1FieldValue = list1Field.getValue()
def cfDescription = getFieldByName("Description")
