How to create a Groovy expression for commeting as a post function?

soerenkornetzki

For a transition I want to automatically create a comment to the issue as a post function and use information from the issue itself within the generated comment.

The following expression represents pseudo-code:

{User_how_causes_the_transition} has approved to grant {Custom_Field_ID_1234} the privilege {Custom_Field_ID_5678}.
{Assignee}: Please issue the privilege now.

 I see myself infront of the Jira "Add Parameters To Function" dialog with "Comment type" set to "Groovy Expression".

What do I have to enter into the "Value"?

I could not find a list containing what options do I have with Groovy within Jira. Ok, there is an "You can use the following variables in your Groovy script" line but how do I know what properties of the objects are available?

Hi Soren,

Assuming {User_how_causes_the_transition} is always the name of the current logged in user and {Custom_Field_ID_1234} and {Custom_Field_ID_5678} are values of respective custom fields, the code should look something like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def cfMgr = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser().getDisplayName()
def cf1 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfMgr.getCustomFieldObject(1234))
def cf2 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfMgr.getCustomFieldObject(5678))

return "${currentUser} has approved to grant ${cf1} the privilege ${cf2}. ${issue.getAssignee().getDisplayName()}: Please issue the privilege now." as String
