Scriptrunner - add user from custom field (user picker) to watchers

Maya_Chase

Hi, I'm very new to Scriptrunner, and I need help! I want to grab the user from a custom field (Business Analyst) and add them to Watchers. I cobbled together a script from a couple of other similar questions here, took out what it looked like I didn't need (and maybe took out too much!), and came up with this:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;

def cf1 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Business Analyst");
def userid = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf1);
def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager();
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager();
def user = userManager.getUserObject("userid");

if (user) watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue.genericValue);

On the last line, I get the error [Static type checking] - Cannot find matching method com.atlassian.jira.issue.watchers.WatcherManager#startWatching(com.atlassian.jira.org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue). Please check if the declared type is right and if the method exists.

If someone could help me straighten this out, I would really appreciate it.

Hello Maya,

javadoc for WarcherManager says

startWatching(ApplicationUser user, Issue issue)

Have you tried to write last line as

 if (user) watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue);

That got rid of the error, but it didn't actually add the Business Analyst to the watchers.

Running the script gave me this:

The following log information was produced by this execution. Use statements like:log.info("...") to record logging information.

PS. I updated the first def to:

def cf1 = CustomFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Business Analyst");

So now it has an error for the line:

def userid = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf1);

[Static type checking] - Cannot find matching method com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue#getCustomFieldValue(java.utilCollection <com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField>). Please check if the declared type is right and if the method exists.

Hmm.

You are missing line:

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();

before the line:

def cf1 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Business Analyst");

Everything you want to use, has to be declared.
