cannot find setCustomFieldValue method

padraik

Hello all, I'm trying to use scriptrunner to create a listener that triggers when the "Target start" field (from advanced roadmaps) on an Epic is updated.  The goal is to update the same field on all of that epic's children.

I attached the script below to a listener and it fires when I make a change to the field, but the field on the epic's children are not updating.  The "setCustomFieldValue()" and "updateIssue()" in the if(change) block are both throwing errors:

 

cannot find matching method com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue#setCustomFieldValue(com.atlassian.jira.isue.field.java.lang.Object). Please check if the declared type is correct and if the method exists

 

I don't know how to either resolve this, or set the field using a different method.

-------------------

 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent
import com.atlassian.jira.util.ImportUtils
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.index.IssueIndexingService
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

def linkType = "Issue in Epic"

def linkMgr = ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager
def cfManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def issueIndexingService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueIndexingService.class)

def issue = event.issue

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser

def TSField = cfManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue)?.find{it.name == "Target start"}
def cfValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(TSField)
def epicLink = cfManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Epic Link")
def epicName = cfManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Epic Name")

def change = event?.changeLog?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem")?.find{it.field == TSField}

if (!change){
return
}

def linkedIssue = linkMgr.getOutwardLinks(issue.id).findAll{it.issueLinkType.name == linkType}

if (!linkedIssue){
return
}

if (change){
linkedIssue.each{
def linkedIssueObj = it.destinationObject
linkedIssueObj.setCustomFieldValue(TSField, cfValue)

issueManager.updateIssue(currentUser, linkedIssueObj , EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)

def wasIndexing = ImportUtils.isIndexIssues()
ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(true)
issueIndexingService.reIndex(linkedIssueObj)
ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(wasIndexing)
}
}

Hi @padraik 

I haven't checked every line of the code. 

setCustomFieldValue is a method of MutableIssue class. Could you please try casting Issue to MutableIssue?

In order to do that you have to add an import

com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

then cast the issue object to MutableIssue 

MutableIssue linkedIssueObj = (MutableIssue) it.destinationObject
linkedIssueObj.setCustomFieldValue(TSField, cfValue)

I hope it helps!
