How to edit a Kanban Board quick filter using groovy?

Stefan Stadler

Hi,

I am trying to edit several hundreds of Kanban Board quick filters to reflect changed values.

I am using the below code and get until I can actually update the filter. However, the update is failing with a NullPointerException for some reason. I have already checked all of the passed in parameters to this function and they all have values unequal to null.

I am using ScriptRunner console to run this. Imports have been done correctly

Can you please help?

Thanks!

}

Hi @Stefan Stadler

1) the issue is, that you're triggering the update using

quickFilterServiceImpl.update(...)

 which has been created by calling the default constructor

instead of using 

quickFilterService.update(...)

which is provided by the container.

Without knowing the details of the implementing class, I assume that some service that is supposed to be injected into QuickFilterService remains null. Once you change it, the NPE should disappear.

2) I would recommend passing the QuickFilter object to the builder, so that you do not need to copy field by field individually, but only the adjusted query.

def newQf = new QuickFilterBuilder(qf)
    .query(newQuery)
    .build()

Kind regards,
Andre
