ScriptRunner Listener condition for specific field update

Julia Foden

Hi

I have started trialling ScriptRunner to see can it overcome some of Automation's limitations (I love Automation but it does have limitations)

I am trying to create a script listener that will execute on the Issue Updated event only on condition that the update is on a specific field, in my case Fix Versions.

Can someone advise how to write this condition please?

Hi @Julia Foden ,

You can create Listener, set event to Issue Updated, leave condition empty (it evaluates jira expression which can be not sufficient here), and write the following in Code section:

def fixVersionChanged = changelog?.items.find { it['field'] == 'Fix Version' }

if (!fixVersionChanged) {
   logger.info("fixVersion was not modified")
   return;
}

logger.info("fixVErsion was modified")

The script checks the changlog to find out which issue element has been updated. This changlog can look somehing like this:

[
   id:10130,
   items: [
      [
         field:Fix Version,
         fieldtype:jira,
         fieldId:fixVersions,
         from:null,
         fromString:null,
         to:10000,
         toString:v1
      ]
   ]
]

So you can use also fromString and toString to determine what version has been added or removed.

 

BTW. you can also accomplish it using Jira Automation. In matter of fact using the same method:
