set custom field value in post function

Nguyen Tran

I have a select list custom field named "Change" with only 2 options (Yes, No). The default is set to No. On a transition I want to update the value of Change to Yes using a script post function.

Here's my attempt:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def changeCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Changes")
issue.setCustomFieldValue(changeCf, 10704)

10704 is the id of the option Yes. It shows error when I try to execute the transition. What do I need to change?

You don't need to import the 2nd line.

issue.SetCustomFieldValue() just changes the value, but it doesn't hold it.

To achieve this you could use the IssueManager class.

 

It would be something like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

//either get the current user
ApplicationUser currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser();

//or use a admin user to execute this
/*
//get admin User
ApplicationUser adminUser = userManager.getUserByName('admin');

*/

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();


def changeCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Changes")
issue.setCustomFieldValue(changeCf, "Yes")


issueManager.updateIssue(adminUser, issue, com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false);
