issue get reporter in postfunction

T. Gutzeit

I'm searching for syntax for issue get Reporter in postfunction.

I tried this

if(issue.getReporter() == 'xy'); { return true; }

if(issue.get('reporter') == 'xy'); { return true; }

It doesn't work.

How to write this condition in postfunction?

Thanks a lot.

Try this:

issue.reporter.name

You can also get the user key the same way.

No doesn't work

I also tried this

if(issueObject.getReporter(). == 'xy'

The same doesn't work

If you want to use == to compare things, they usually need to be the same type of object. Your code compares a "user" object with a string, which probably isn't going to work. Either extract the name or login from the user to compare it, or make the string into a proper user.

In other words, something like

issue.getReporter().getName().equals("Bob")

if(issue.getReporter().getName().equals('xy'))
{
return true
}

T. Gutzeit

I understand I tried this

if (issue.getReporter().getName() == ("Bob Smith")

if (issue.getReporter().getName() .equals("Bob Smith")

Doesn't working.

Mahesh S_y9hwt0

Are you getting any error? What is the response?

Mahesh S_y9hwt0

Your second approach is right!

if (issue.getReporter().getName() .equals("Bob Smith")

But, the error is the braces of if condition is not closed and there is a space before .equals.

if (issue.getReporter().getName().equals("Bob Smith"))

Try this now.

T. Gutzeit

With braces or not unfortunately it doesn't work.

If your code is now structurally correct, as we've all talked through, my next question is "are you comparing the right thing"?

A user object has many attributes - I've picked on getName() as probably the best one, but it might not be what you're comparing.

Let's take "confused Bob" as an example. They log in as alice, have an email address of ConfusedBob@somewhere.com and a display name of Charlie Smith. For Confused Bob here, getName will say "alice", but getDisplayName will give you "Charlie Smith". I don't know what your XY string is trying to match...

T. Gutzeit

I tried getName() with display name (real user in system, display name separated by space). Isn't it right?

I think the display name is not the best one. I think the Username would be good to compare or the mail-adress. But I don't know what JIRA writes in the field "reporter" (on screen you see the display Name in Issue).

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

No, see the end of my previous comment.

JIRA usually gives you the display name when it displays a user, but I think your instinct to use the login id is better than the display name (it can change, but rarely does)

T. Gutzeit

The right expression is in this Context:

if (issue.get("reporter").getUsername() == 'UserID')

{

return true;

}

That works.

Postfunction "Set Field Value to constant or Groovy expression Function" is from Addon "JIRA Misc Worklflow Extensions".

Answer from Support was this

"The "issue" variable holds a proxy to the Issue object, and only supports the "get" method. If you want to use JIRA's Issue object, you need to use the issueObject variable instead.
To get the reporter, you can use: issue.get("reporter"). That returns an ApplicationUser object, on which you can call "getUsername()" to get the username."
