How to add a custom multi user picker field users to a particular project role in JIRA server?

cloud jira

Hi Team,

Below requirement in JIRA SERVER.

I have a multi user picker custom field like "Viewers".

When I add the users in the "Viewers" field in the create and edit issue, people in this field are automatically added to the "Developers" project role.

Viewers(custom multi user picker field) --> Developers (role)

--> I have Script Runner and JMWE add-ons.

Thanks

Hi @cloud jira ,

first of all, you specified "Cloud" as your deployment type when posting this question, but you mentioned you want the answer for Jira Server. That's confusing.

Anyway, on Jira Server, you can create an Event-based Action from JMWE that listens to changes to the Viewers field and add a Scripted (Groovy) post-function to that action with a script like:

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.projectroles.ProjectRoleService
import com.atlassian.jira.util.SimpleErrorCollection
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleActor

ProjectRoleService prs = getComponent(ProjectRoleService)
SimpleErrorCollection errCollection = new SimpleErrorCollection();
def projectRole = prs.getProjectRoleByName("Developers", errCollection)

def userKeys = issue.get("Viewers")*.key
prs.addActorsToProjectRole(userKeys, projectRole, issue.projectObject, ProjectRoleActor.USER_ROLE_ACTOR_TYPE, errCollection)

Hi David,

I am facing a problem.

--> If I remove users from the "Viewers" field they should leave the role automatically. (This function is not happening automatically)

--> If I add multiple users in the "Viewers" field at onetime, all those who have added are being added in the "Developers" role automatically.

--> If I add one user in the "Viewers" field, that user is adding in the "Developers" role automatically.

--> If I added 2nd, 3rd users after adding the first user in the "Viewers" field. 2nd, 3rd users are not adding in the "Developers" role.

Note: After adding 1st user, if I add one or multiple users in the "Viewers" field, all those who have added are not being added in the "Developers" role automatically.

-->For ex: I have added Anitha in the Viewers field, again I want to add one more user Srilakshmi along with Anitha, So I added Srilakshmi with Anitha. But Srilakshmi is not adding in the Developers role.

Please find below image.

Please help me in this.

Thanks.

Hi @David Fischer

Can you please let me know how it can be done.

Thanks!

@Vinodh ,

can you share the configuration of the event-based action you have configured?

As for removing users who were removed from the Viewers field from the project role, this is more complicated as the user could be in the Viewers field of two issues, and if you remove that user from the Viewers field of only one issue, you shouldn't remove that user from the project role since they are still mentioned in the Viewers field of the other issue. Or did I misunderstand something?
