Jira Scriptrunner Cloud: How to set User Picker (Single User) custom field in scriptrunner cloud

Mark Sayo_7e8cq1

Hi,

We are trying to set a custom field User Picker (Single User) using scriptrunner.

We tried email or accounID but still the Reporting Manager field User Picker (Single User) is not updating. 

This is what I noticed, when there is a user already set in the Reporting Manager field, the value will be blank when we run the script.

---

def customfieldID = 'customfield_10202' // Reporting Manager
//def newFieldValue = 'mark@email.com'
def newFieldValue = '123456%3A6f714ab0-e00b-000e-0000-0000c7d000000' //accountid 
def issueKey = 'FAC-152'

def result = put("/rest/api/3/issue/${issueKey}")
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.body([
fields: [
customfieldID: [
id: newFieldValue
]
]
//]).asObject(Map)
]).asString()
if (result.status == 204) {
return 'Success'
} else {
return "${result.status}: ${result.body}"
}

Hi @Mark Sayo , 

Your script to update a user pick field is almost 100% correct, just need to change 'id' to 'accountId'. 

So, could you try the following and let me know how you get on?

 

def updateResult = put("/rest/api/3/issue/${issueKey}")
   .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
   .body([
      fields:[
         customfieldID: [
            accountId: newFieldValue
         ]
      ]
   ]).asString()

Kind regards, 

Bobby
