Copy username from comment to User picker field

Sal_5pm3j4

Hello Everyone,

I would like to create Project automation where we can copy the username when a comment is added to a user picker field.

Any idea how this can be done?

Hi @Sal ,

I copied my reply in this separated answer; so, if it's ok for you, you can accept this. Thank you.

 

let be "Users in last comment" the user picker (multi-user) that we want fill with users in last comment.
Then add a new custom Script Listener that starts on "Issue Commented" event and set in Script this code:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

def issue = event.issue

def cfUsersInLastComment = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Users in last comment").first()

def comments = ComponentAccessor.commentManager.getComments(issue)

String strComment = comments.last().body

List<String> userNames = strComment.findAll("\\[~.*?\\]")

def users = new ArrayList<ApplicationUser>()

userNames.each {users.add(ComponentAccessor.userManager.getUserByName(it.substring(2, it.length()-1)))}

cfUsersInLastComment.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfUsersInLastComment), users), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())

So, when a new comment is added to the issue, users in comment will be added to the user picker field.

Note: Each User in comments must be written as: @username (by selecting the one you want)
