Scriptrunner listener to update custom date/time field

Conor McGmail

Hi All,

I need to write a listener that will add current timestamp to a custom date/time fields when another field is updated.

For example, if custom checkbox "Approved" is set, the listener detects this change and will timestamp the custom date/time field "Approved Date".

I had intended to simply do this through the JIRA Suites Utility plugin on a workflow transition, but the requirements have changed and this needs to be done on an "Edit" and hence needs to be detected and updated by a custom listener.

 Can @Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist] , @Jamie Echlin [Adaptavist] or some of the other Adaptavist guys please help me out here?

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,

Conor

Hi Conor,

Try something like 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder

import java.sql.Timestamp

Issue issue = issue
def change = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem").find {it.field == "CheckBox A"}
if (change) {
    def cf = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Approved DateTime")
    def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()
    def now = new Timestamp(new Date().getTime())
    cf.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf), now),changeHolder)
}

Please let me know if this does the trick.

regards, Thanos
