fast track transition issue based on user picker field

David B_oeqdix

I'm trying to fast track a transition an issue based on a user picker having a value or not.

If the user picker is populated I want the transition to fire. If it's empty I don't.

Without any example for referencing a user picker I had a few guesses but no matter what I tried the transition would never occur. There was nothing in the logs so as far as I can tell there is no actual error.

What is the correct syntax for determining if a user picker has a value?

You can also do it using "Set field as a function of other fields" post-function of JIRA Workflow Toolbox plugin as I show in the screenshot:

In this case transition "Assign Issue" will be executed if custom field "User Picker" hasn't a value, and transition "Start Progress" if the field is set.

Note that ^$ is regular expression for empty string, and .* is regular expression for a non-empty string.

Get object for custom field like that:

CustomField cstFld_getTime = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("customFieldName")

Get value for sertain issue and check for null

if(issue.getCustomFieldValue(cstFld) == null){
//	actions if null
}
else{
	//actions if not null
}

Are you saying that I cannot use the script post function to do it and can only do it in a groovy script? If that's the case then I'm going to have to learn how to transition an issue in groovy.

You can use Script postFunction provided ScriptRunner plugin

Yes but I would like to use "Fast-track transition an issue" which really isn't compatible with what you've posted.

What you've posted is more suited to "Custom script post-function" which i'm hoping to avoid as I need to learn a whole lot more than just how to access a custom user picker.

Also i'm not sold on what you've posted working for a user picker anyway seeing as it's not just a simple field but an object.

I figured it out after looking through the source code for script runner and doing some tests in script console.

The null conditions are as simple as

cfValues['User Picker'] == null // to check for empty
or
cfValues['User Picker'] != null // to check for populated

also cfValues['User Picker']?.toString() resolves to "TestUser(testuser)" (for a user called testuser) when populated and "null" when not populated.

With this syntax it could be used to check for a specific user.
