groovy post function clone and set datepicker customfield

Kevin Lynch3

I'm having issues setting a custom datepicker field from the groovy post function Clones an issue and links.

Condition: blank

Target Project: Different Project name

Target Issue Type: New Issue Type

Additional issue actions:

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'Start Date'}
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf.id, '2012-09-17 00:00:00.0')

Issue Link Type: New Plan

Log error:

Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueImpl.setCustomFieldValue() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String, java.lang.String) values: [customfield_10434, 2012-09-17 00:00:00.0]
Possible solutions: setCustomFieldValue(com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField, java.lang.Object), getCustomFieldValue(com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField)

I've also tried

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'Start Date'}
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf.id, '30/Apr/13')

Log error:

Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueImpl.setCustomFieldValue() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String, java.lang.String) values: [customfield_10434, 30/Apr/13]
Possible solutions: setCustomFieldValue(com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField, java.lang.Object), getCustomFieldValue(com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField)

The server shows the date picker field as DD/MMM/YY when being filled out.

I'm using version script runner 2.1.3

Thanks Jamie,

import java.sql.Timestamp
def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'Start Date'}
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf, new Timestamp(new Date(2012,9,17).getTime()))

That worked. I was able to construct my final piece of getting a different date picker field to populate to a different date picker field by putting the following.

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'Start Date'}
issue.summary = 'Equipment Order (automatic ticket)'
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf, cfValues['Effective Date'])

I think you have to use a Timestamp (or Date) object as value to set. You can easily see the needed object if you call getValue() on the customfield an examine the returned object.

log.error cf.getValue(issue).class.name

If you now look into the log you will see the needed object for setting the value.

alright, I 'think' that it is saying it needs a timestamp. I ran the following through the script runner at the ticket in question.

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager

CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getCustomFieldManager()
issueOld = ComponentManager.getInstance().getIssueManager().getIssueObject("HR-823")
def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Start Date")
def rt = issueOld.getCustomFieldValue(cf)

log.error cf.getValue(issueOld).class.name
rt

and it came back with this in the log

Caused by: javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: java.sql.Timestamp.getValue() is applicable for argument types: (com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueImpl) values: [HR-823]
Possible solutions: getDate(), getClass(), getDay(), getTime(), getNanos(), getTime()

and this value on the output

2012-09-17 00:00:00.0

I also dumbied down my 'Additional Issue Actions' to

issue.setCustomFieldValue("customfield_10434", '2012-09-17 00:00:00.0')

and I get this in the log

javax.script.ScriptException: javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueImpl.setCustomFieldValue() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String, java.lang.String) values: [customfield_10434, 2012-09-17 00:00:00.0]
Possible solutions: setCustomFieldValue(com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField, java.lang.Object), getCustomFieldValue(com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField)

I also tried

issue.description = '\nStart Date=' + cfValues['Start Date'] + '='

to make sure the output didn't have any hidden characters or spaces. Output was

Start Date=2013-04-30 00:00:00.0=

As you can see the output is the same format as the value I'm trying to set.

I cannot reproduce your ScriptExecption, for me your script works well.

But, you have to use a Date object for setting. Currently you are using a String.

Try

new Date(2012,9,17)

as value for setCustomFieldValue()

I tried

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'Start Date'}
new Date(2012,9,17)
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf.id, Date)

and I got

Caused by: javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueImpl.setCustomFieldValue() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String, java.lang.Class) values: [customfield_10434, class java.util.Date]
Possible solutions: setCustomFieldValue(com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField, java.lang.Object), getCustomFieldValue(com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

Try this:

import java.sql.Timestamp

issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf, new Timestamp(new Date(2012,9,17).getTime()))

Thanks Jamie,

import java.sql.Timestamp
def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'Start Date'}
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf, new Timestamp(new Date(2012,9,17).getTime()))
