Customize Priority based on custom field

uday ramakrishna

Hi,

I have a custom field (date type) that accepts users input to request for a due date for the project. Is there a way to set the Priority label once the ticket has been created to reflect what was chosen by the end user? Ideally i want to use High Priority if that date field was selected when the ticket was created.

Hi Uday,

you can use a groovy script for this, you can compare the date type customfield value with the currrent date and based on the difference you can set the priority.

you will need the script runner plugin for this and you will have to place your script as a post function on your create transition.

Below is a script which sets the duedate based on priority, hope you find it useful

import java.sql.Timestamp
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
 
// initializing the priority


def BLOCKER = 1;
def CRITICAL = 2;
def MAJOR = 3;
def MINOR = 9;
def Trivial = 30;
 

// calender which returns the date according to the priority defined

private GregorianCalendar getDate(double roll){
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY);
        cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY,0);
        cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE,0);
        cal.set(Calendar.SECOND,0);
        cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND,0);
 
        for (int x=0;x<roll;x++){
                cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,1);
        }
 
        return cal;
}
 
 

MutableIssue mutableIssue = (MutableIssue) issue;
def priority = mutableIssue.getPriority().getString("name");
def setDueDate = mutableIssue.getDueDate();
 //only set the dueDate if the date isn't already set (i.e. if it == null).

        GregorianCalendar cal;

         if(priority.equals("Critical")){
                cal = getDate(CRITICAL);
        } else if(priority.equals("Major")){
                cal = getDate(MAJOR);
        } else if(priority.equals("Minor")){
                cal = getDate(MINOR);
        }
        Timestamp dueDate = new Timestamp(cal.getTimeInMillis());
        mutableIssue.getPriorityObject();
        mutableIssue.setDueDate(dueDate);
