How to set project category in groovy script

Fabian Graevenitz

Hello out there,

 

I want to automatically set the project category in a groovy script. I found out that Project class has a field for category and there is an interface for retrieving the categories. But I cannot find how to get an instance of that interface.

This is what I found so far:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.entity.ProjectCategoryFactory
import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectCategory
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectCategoryStore
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager

Long categoryId = ProjectCategoryFactory.NONE_PROJECT_CATEGORY_ID

ProjectManager projectManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager()

Project project = projectManager.getProjectObjByKey("MYKEY")

ProjectCategoryStore categoryStore = // TODO retrieve Project Category Store Instance
ProjectCategory myCategory = categoryStore.getProjectCategore(categoryId)

project.proctCategory = myCategory

Hi @Fabian Graevenitz

A similar question was asked and answered previously in this Community Post.

Below is the sample code suggested:-

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.projectManager

def projectList = projectManager.getProjectObjectsFromProjectCategory(10300)

def newCat = projectManager.getProjectCategoryObjectByName('Close')

projectList.each{
    projectManager.setProjectCategory(it,newCat )
}

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram
