Scriptrunner: Access Value from Numeric Field

Question

Hello!

I'm trying to use ScriptRunner Behaviours to make a field read-only once it's filled out. I can get this to work for certain field types (i.e., single-select) but not for numeric field types. Any ideas how to access the "value" for a numeric field type or is it not possible? TYIA!

Script

var storyPoint = getFieldById("customfield_XXXXX")

var storyPointValue = storyPoint.getValue()

if(storyPointValue != null){

storyPoint.setReadOnly(true);

}

else {

storyPoint.setReadOnly(false);}

Single-Select Field Example

*  This works fine because there's a value object to return.

"customfield_10255": {
    "self": "https://< >.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/customFieldOption/10424",
    "value": "Yes",
    "id": "10424"
  },

Numeric Field Example

* How do I return the "value" (i.e., 5) in my script so it'll work?

"customfield_10025": 5,

Hi Brandon,

I can confirm the object object error being returned means the value is an Object, and you need to extract the value out of the object to be able to set this as a String.

I have created the example, which you can view here, and this shows how to get the value out of a single Select List field and set it in a text field on the Create Screen using Behaviours in Jira Cloud.

You can use this example as a guide to help achieve your requirements.

It will not be possible to get a number field value as Bobby mentioned, as you can only set values to a text field which is returned from fields which Behaviours supports.

I hope this answer helps.

Regards,

Kristian

Hi there,

Thank you for the replies, I appreciate it. @Kristian Walker _Adaptavist_ do you have an example of the workaround you mention?

When I add .toSring() method to my value I'm returning an [object object] string. How do I return the appropriate value (i.e., 5)? From there, I track the suggestion to set this value in a separate field and make that field required to mimic the desired functionality.

Hi Brandon,

As Bobby mentioned, number fields are not yet supported.

The only workaround is to call the .toString() method to return the value as a string and set this in a text custom field.
