When I use the API setFieldOptions(...) for a Custom Version Picker Field - previous value is delete

Eran Flom

I have a custom field of type Version Picket (multiple values).

I have a behaviour that initiate the options for this field (for example when you edit the ticket).

The possible options for that field are versions from another Jira project - this is working fine.

The problem is when you have value in this field and edit the ticket again - the previous value of the field is being deleted.

Why?

Hi @Eran Flom

Could you please specify which version of ScriptRunner you are using when testing this?

Also, could you please share your behaviour configuration and code for better understanding?

Thank you and Kind Regards,

Ram

I am using Adaptavist ScriptRunner for JIRA version 6.41.0 (on a Jira server v8.16.0)

The behaviour is set with all the default values (Use Validator Plugin is unchecked and there is no Guide workflow).

The code is in the Initialiser (to be activated when the edit screen is entered). This is the code:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.project.version.VersionManager
import com.atlassian.jira.project.version.Version

// Specify the master project - to get the versions from
def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager()
def project = projectManager.getProjectObjByName("Proj A")

// Get all the vesrions from "Proj A"
def versionManager = ComponentAccessor.getVersionManager()
def List<Version> versions = versionManager.getVersions(project)

def versionOptionsFld = getFieldByName("Version Picker Field Name")
versionOptionsFld.setFieldOptions(versions)

@Ram Kumar Aravindakshan _Adaptavist_ any insight about this problem?

Hi @Eran Flom

Sorry for the delay in responding.

After going through your code, I found out why the version picker keeps resetting. You have not set any conditions to control when the version picker is reset.

def versionOptionsFld = getFieldByName("Version Picker Field Name")
versionOptionsFld.setFieldOptions(versions)

What this does is then whenever you are in either the create screen or edit screen, the value for the Version Picker will automatically be reset to the original value.

To control when the Version Picker options are reset, you should include an if condition. For example:-

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours behaviours
def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.projectManager
def versionManager = ComponentAccessor.versionManager
def project = projectManager.getProjectByCurrentKey('BT')
def versions = versionManager.getVersions(project)

def versionOptionsFld = getFieldByName("Multi Version Picker")

if(versionOptionsFld == null) {
    versionOptionsFld.setFieldOptions(versions)
}

Please note the working sample code above is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence, you will need to make the required modifications.

If you notice in the sample code above, the if condition is added to control when the options in the version picker are reset, i.e.

if(versionOptionsFld == null) {
    versionOptionsFld.setFieldOptions(versions)
}

In other words, if the version picker has some options already selected, it will ignore it.

Please give this a try and see if it helps resolve your problem.

Thank you and Kind Regards,

Ram
