Update Custom User field with current user/LoggedInuser

Norma Pena

Custom Field does not update with user performing the transition

Custom Post function script running

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption


def authContext = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext()

def currentUser = authContext.getLoggedInUser()

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

def myCustomfield = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName('Approved By').first()

issue.setCustomFieldValue(myCustomfield, currentUser)


ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(currentUser, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)

Figured it out!

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()


// Get the current user

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

// Get the custom field
def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Approved By')

// Get the current value of the custom field
def currentUsers = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField) as List<ApplicationUser>

// Set the value of the custom field
if (currentUsers == null) {
currentUsers=[currentUser]
}

if (currentUser != null) {
    currentUsers.add(currentUser)
    }

// Update the value of the custom field
issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField, currentUsers)

@Ram Kumar Aravindakshan _Adaptavist_ any chance you could take a look?

Hi @Norma Pena

You could try this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

// a user custom field

def userCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Approved By")

def currenrUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

issue.setCustomFieldValue(userCf, currenrUser)

ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(currenrUser, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

Hi @Norma Pena

Try this and replace my field's name with yours. I've tried it on scriptrunner's console and works fine:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager

IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def cfObj = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).findByName("Test User Picker (single)")
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

issue.setCustomFieldValue(cfObj, user)
issueManager.updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED ,false)

Hi @Norma Pena

Can you please clarify what field you use for the Approved By? Is it a single-user picker, a multi-user picker or maybe a text field?

I can get this to work in my environment without issues using a code similar to yours and testing with a single-user picker.

Please note that the sample codes below are not 100% exact to your environment. Hence you will need to make the required modifications.

Below is the code that I have tested for the single-user picker:-

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser

def approver = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName('Approved By').first()

issue.setCustomFieldValue(approver, loggedInUser)
issueManager.updateIssue(loggedInUser, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)

Below are a few test screenshots for your reference:-

1. When the issue is first created, the Approver By field is not set:-

2. Once the issue has transitioned to the In Progress status, the Approved By field is updated as shown below:-

If it is a multi-user picker, you need to try something like this:-

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder

def issue = issue as MutableIssue

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()

def group = groupManager.getGroup('jira-administrators') // set group name
def usersInGroup = groupManager.getUsersInGroup(group)
def approvers = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName('Approved By Multi').first()
approvers.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(approvers), usersInGroup), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())

When using the multi-user picker, when the issue transitions, the field will be updated like:-

If you are still encountering an error, it would be helpful if you could share some of your log output for further investigation.

I hope this helps to answer your question. :-)

Thank you and Kind regards,
Ram

Hey @Ram Kumar Aravindakshan _Adaptavist_

The custom field is a multi-user picker. Is there a way for the field to be updated with the new user each time the transition takes place? Currently, it clears field and updates each time a new user transitions the ticket.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

// Get the current user

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

// Get the custom field

def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Approved By')

// Update the value of the custom field

issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField, [currentUser])

currentUsers=[currentUser]

    currentUsers.add(currentUser)
