Question

Hi

After upgrading to JIRA 7.0.10 and scriptrunner 4.2.0.6 one of the scripts in a workflow post-function fails with the following message

Failed type checking and we don't know why, it's our fault not yours @ line 1, column 1.

looking at the script I see indication as follows:

on the following line:

commentManager.create(issue, "Jira", "message string: " + reporter.getDisplayName() + ".
By script assignToBusinessUserOrRepoter.groovy" , true)

Please advise

"Jira" is a string, not an ApplicationUser object.  You need to give it a user there.  The commentManager API has changed and can't accept strings any more, so your script needs to be updated.
