Bulk copy custom field values into comments

nwaters

I have the script runner plugin. I have not found a recent answer to this question that works.

I have a Jira server with a custom field that I want to remove. But before I remove this field I would like to copy the contents of that custom into a comment when the field is not EMPTY.

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks,

Nick

Hey Nick,

You will have to write a custom script to do so.

Logic would be something like this:

 

- foreach project

 -- foreach issue

  --- get customfield value

   ---- if not null

    ----- create new comment 

To get projects, refer to https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.0.8/com/atlassian/jira/project/ProjectManager.html

To get custom field and values, refer to https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.6.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/CustomFieldManager.html

To create comment, refer to https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.0.5/com/atlassian/jira/issue/comments/CommentManager.html

 

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Bhushan
