How to copy watchers to custom field (user picker - multiple) with Script Runnerc

Tomasz Brudziński_aodm77

Hi - I need to set a custom field for our clients users, who are not jira-software-users. We're using third party helpdesk plugin to work with them, and I need a custom scripted field to filter watchers. Client's users have "@" character in their usernames, so it's fairly easy. The problem is with User Picker templates - I can't get it to show any results.

 

I tried both single and multiple user template. Single always shows "anonymous" in script preview, and multiple basically shows nothing. Please advise. This is my script:

 

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.watchers.IssueWatcherAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.watchers.WatcherManager
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUsers
IssueWatcherAccessor iwa = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueWatcherAccessor.class)
def list =  iwa.getWatcherKeys(issue)
List filtered = new ArrayList();
for (user in list){
    // IF/ELSE does the same for test purpose !!!
	if(user==~ /.*@.*/){
    	filtered.add(ApplicationUsers.toDirectoryUser(ApplicationUsers.byKey(user)))
    }else{
        filtered.add(ApplicationUsers.toDirectoryUser(ApplicationUsers.byKey(user)))
    }
}
List<ApplicationUser> clientWatchers = ApplicationUsers.from(filtered)
log.error clientWatchers
return clientWatchers

 

I'm loggin "clientWatchers" to see what it returns:

user picker (single user) shows Anonymous in script preview.

BUT it does exactly the same whatever I return, example: 

 

Zrzut ekranu 2016-06-02 o 18.27.52.png

 

and multiple user picker shows nothing:

"test" custom field remains empty in issue view:

Either I'm doing something wrong, or user picker templates are broken. Please advise.

Does the "log" line show the correct things?

I see this problem when passing the wrong type of User, but you seem to be using ApplicationUser, which is correct - depending on the version of JIRA. What version are you using?

I am not sure why you are converting from appuser to directory user and back again, why don't you just let "filtered" be a list of AppUsers?

In fact why don't you just filter on com.atlassian.jira.issue.watchers.IssueWatcherAccessor#getWatchers, rather than their keys?

Actually - I suspect the problem is you have the free text searcher on. Make sure you are using the Multi User Picker Searcher, otherwise it coerces the return value to be suitable for the indexer.
