Copy Value From Field to Field Function Groovy Condition

alexlwilson

I'm using the Copy Value From Field to Field Function Post-Function, but am struggling to figure out the condition portion. Basically, I don't want it to execute the post-function unless a custom field "Reorder Type" contains the string value of "Replace Empty".

What would the Groovy expression be?

Many of the conditions for post functions have some handy-dandy variables injected into the binding. I don't see a post function with the name you used, but it might be as simple as:

cfValues['Reorder Type']?.value == 'Replace Empty'

If the Condition blank has a little question mark next to it, click that to see what's available in the binding.

 

In a more general case (outside Post Functions and such like), you could use the CustomFieldMananger to determine the value of the field. Something like

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldMananger = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def field = customFieldMananger.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Reorder Type")
def reorderTypeValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(field)
reorderTypeValue == "Replace Empty"

Notably, that assumes the the Reorder Type field is a simple plain text input. For select lists and other more complex input types, you may need to bust out the OptionsManager as well. See https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/recipes/behaviours/select-list-other.html for an example of using the optionsManager to get and set values in a select list.
