Getting first value from cascading select custom field

Bill Wonch1

I'm trying to get the data out of a cascading select custom field, but I'm not having much luck. This code seems to work for getting the value of the second selection, but I can't get at the first:

from com.atlassian.jira import ComponentManager
import urllib
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

customFieldManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getCustomFieldManager()

# Get the issue number
key = issue.getKey()

# Get value of the 'Revision' field
revisionField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Revision")
revision = issue.getCustomFieldValue(revisionField)

# Get value of the 'Domain and Application' field
serviceField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Domain and Application")
service = issue.getCustomFieldValue(serviceField)

domain=service['']
application=service['1']

# Kick off the job in Jenkins
params = urllib.urlencode({'SVN_REVISION': revision, 'ISSUE_NUMBER': key, 'DOMAIN': domain, 'APPLICATION': application})
f = urllib.urlopen("http://jenkins/job/flexB-ApplicationService-trunk-jira-test/buildWithParameters?token=flexB-ApplicationService-trunk", params)
print f.read()

This works for getting to the second value (service, or position '1'), but I can't seem to get the first value (domain, or position 'null'). What amm I missing here?

This is a post function in our workflow, and we're running Jira 5.1.4 with Jira Scripting Suite.

Thanks!

following way you can get cascading field value

Object value = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField);
CustomFieldParams params = (CustomFieldParams) value;
if (params != null) {
Object parent = params.getFirstValueForNullKey();
Object child = params.getFirstValueForKey("1");
}

IIRC the value is a nested map, but if you print out the value you will see.

Try service[Null] for the root value - I think python null is "Null".

When I print the value, I get the following:

{null=flexA, 1=MortgageInsurancePremium}

I tried with [null] and [Null], and I get an error either way: Null is not defined. If I use ['null'], it doesn't error out, but the value I get on my jenkins box is "None"

Thanks!

Sorry, python null is None. Try that, or Rambanam's method which should also work.

I tried with the script provided, and I get an error message:

root cause: SyntaxError: ("mismatched input 'value' expecting NEWLINE", ('<string>', 19, 7, 'Object value = issue.getCustomFieldValue(10001);\n'))

That portion of my script looks like this:

# Get value of the 'Domain and Application' field
Object value = issue.getCustomFieldValue(10001);
CustomFieldParams params = (CustomFieldParams) value;
if (params != null) {
  Object parent = params.getFirstValueForNullKey();
  Object child = params.getFirstValueForKey("1");

My only real change was to the getCustomFieldValue command. Do I need to make other changes?

Thanks!

Rambanam gave you groovy/java code, whereas you appear to be using python.

Bill Wonch1

Well that would make sense. I'll see if I can re-engineer this. Thanks!
