Fill customfield with reporter name using Script Runner

Leos Junek

Hello to all,

I am using JIRA 6.2.3 and accidentaly upgraded Behaviours Plugin, that is no longer supported in JIRA 6.2.x. It was merged into Script Runner plugin. Now I have to restore some functionality with Script Runner, but code from Behaviours field definition

import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

FormField formTester = getFieldByName("Tester2");
ApplicationUser appUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser();
User user = appUser.getDirectoryUser();
String currUserFullName = user.getDisplayName();
String currUserName = user.getName();
log.error (currUserFullName);
log.error (currUserName);
if(!formTester.getFormValue()){
  formTester.setFormValue(currUserName);
}

returns (when clicking at Go)

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
Script13.groovy: 5: unable to resolve class FormField 
 @ line 5, column 11.
   FormField formTester = getFieldByName("Tester2");
             ^

1 error

A stacktrace has been logged.

My task is to populate custom field Tester2 (customFieldId=11030) with username of reporter at the time of issue creation. User Picker is the template I have selected at script definition.

What should I import to be able to use class FormField, or is there any alternative to that class?

I would be grateful for any hint.

I recommend that you install Script Runner 3.0-beta, which you seem to already have, and uninstall the behaviours plugin. Obviously on a test instance first, hopefully it is not too late for that advice.

You cannot mix and match behaviours scripts with script runner scripts. Well, they are both groovy, except behaviours has specific methods available like getFieldByName, that are only available in the context where it makes sense.

Can you post a screenshot of where this is configured? That might help.

But your code, if it's a behaviours script, looks correct at first glance.
