Scriptrunner - Edit Description based on Component

Jon Langshaw

Can someone review and let me know why this wont work?

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.component.ProjectComponent

def desc = getFieldById("description")

def component = getFieldById(getFieldChanged()) 

def defaultValue = """

*WHAT:* chicken, chicken chicken

*WHY*

""".replaceAll(/    /, '')

 

for(c in comps){

     if(c.getName().contains(“Stuff”)){defaultValue = true}

}

if (! underlyingIssue?.description) {

desc.setFormValue(defaultValue)

}

1. Where is "comps" on the line "for (c in comps)" coming from?
   That variable is not defined anywhere.
2. Suff appears to be surrounded by invalid quotes. Maybe this happened when you copied here. Or maybe this happened because you edited the script in a word processor rather than a code editor. Make sure you use either ' or " and not ” (notice the slant on the last one?
3. You set the variable "defaultValue" to the boolean "true" if c (whatever c is ) has a name that contains stuff. Then you try to set the description to a boolean. The best-case scenario, this will be converted to a string "true" or it might fail altogether.

Perhaps the following will achieve something close to what you expect:

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.component.ProjectComponent

def defaultValue = """
    *WHAT:* chicken, chicken chicken
    
    *WHY*

""".stripIndent()

if (! underlyingIssue?.description) {
def components = getFieldById(fieldChanged) as List<ProjectComponent>
if(components.any{it.name.contains('Stuff')}){
def desc = getFieldById("description")
        desc.setFormValue(defaultValue)
    }
}
