Error when copying to Security Level field

Jozef Vandenmooter

We created Security Levels that have the exact same names as the Components in a Project.

We added a Post Function that copies the name of the Component to the Security Level field. That results in an error:

Error creating issue: Unable to copy value from field 'Component/s' to 'Security Level'.

Is this something that's not supported?

Thanks,

Jozef

It's not supported by whatever add-on you're using to provide the "copy" function.

This isn't too much of a surprise. A component is a component object and a security level another type of object. You could replace those object names with other object names to see whay it can't do it. "Please copy this penguin into a field expecting a haircut".

Thanks for the quick reply and the clear example!

Is there any other way the Security Level can be set based on the value of a field in an issue? We have an issue type that's used by multiple teams, and we don't want members of one team to be able to see another team's issues (and we want to avoid creating multiple projects).

Thanks,

You could have different workflows for issue types and put "set security level" post-functions in them.

Setting a level from fields generally requires a bit of coding though. The function you've found is close, it's just not quite expecting component -> security level. The code you'd need is pretty much "issue.first component.getName()" then "Find security level of that name and apply it"

The copy was attempted using a Post Function:

Copy Value From Other Field - Copies the value of one field to another, either within the same issue or from parent to sub-task.

I thought it was an OOB function, but I have a plain-vanilla JIRA test instance and it's not there. I think it's supplied by the JIRA Suite Utilities plugin.

Which add-on do you suggest we get to be able to script this? Script Runner?
