Script listener commentBody to customField

Aileen_pj2ao9

Hello,

I am trying to get the comment body of all comments by a particular user to be put into a custom field, but it's not working. (Using ScriptRunner by the way, and JIRA Software server 7.3.5)

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

def issue = event.issue as Issue
MutableIssue issueToUpdate = (MutableIssue) issue;
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();

def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()
def user = event.getComment().getAuthorApplicationUser()
def commentBody = commentManager.getLastComment(issue).getBody()
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def myfield = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("custom field name")

if (user == "username"){
    issueToUpdate.setCustomFieldValue(myfield, commentBody);
    issueManager.updateIssue(event.getUser(), issueToUpdate, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false);
}

Hi Aileen,

I think this is your problem:

if (user == "username")

Looking at your code, 'user' variable is an ApplicationUser object. And you are trying to compare an object to a string which cannot be done hence your 'if' statement condition failing and all the code in its closure not being executed.

The correct way to do this is like so:

if (user.getUsername() == "username")
