How to set 1/1/2999 date to Target Date custom date field

Question

How to set the date 1/1/2999 to 'Target date' custom date field in post-function. I know there is a function available but I want to write a groovy script to check summary.

If the summary = AAAA

then

set target date = 1/1/2999

else

set target date = today +7 days.

I am able to manage setting the 'ELSE' part but trying to figure out to set the static value.

Here is the sample code that I am trying

Error in my code

issue.setCustomFieldvalue(TD,input)

Can not matching method. I may have to convert string to date or missing something.

Any help much appreciated.

if(issue.summary !='AAA'){

if (TDV == "" || TDV == null) {

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

// set due date to: current date + 8 days

Timestamp DefTDD = new Timestamp(cal.getTimeInMillis()+ 14*1000*24*60*60);

//DefTDD.toString()

issue.setCustomFieldValue(TD, DefTDD)

// issueManager.updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH ,false)

}

}else{

def pattern = "dd-MM-yyyy"

def input = "01/01/2999"

def date1 = Date.parse(pattern, input)

issue.setCustomFieldvalue(TD,input)

}
issueManager.updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH ,false)

Hi @Uday Kiran Bhaviri

FYI, the example you have shared is for the Behaviour and not appliable for Post-Function.

Thank you  and Kind regards,

Hi @Omprakash Thamsetty

For your requirement, I suggest you look into ScriptRunner's HAPI feature.

Below is a sample working code for your reference:-

if (issue.summary == 'AAAA') {
    issue.set {
        setCustomFieldValue('Date 1', '01/Jan/2999')
    }
}

Please note that the sample working code above is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence, you will need to make the required modifications.

Below is a screenshot of the Post-Function configuration:-

I am also including a couple of test screenshots for your reference:-

1. When the issue is first created no value is added to the date field, i.e. Date 1 as shown in the screenshot below:-

2. Once the issue transitions to In Progress, the Date 1 field is updated to the value 1/Jan/99, i.e. 1st January 2099 as shown in the screenshot below:-

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

Thank you and Kind regards,
Ram
