How to set default values of label type custom field?

Question

Hi Guys!

I would like to set default values in label type custom field.
If I want to create issue, then for all issue type i would like to get different values in label type custom field.

For example:
First attempt:

def iTypeField = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
def myLabalCustomField = getFieldByName("MyLabel CField")
if ( iTypeField.getValue() == "Bug" ) {
   myLabalCustomField.setFormValue(['bugfixing'])
}

if ( iTypeField.getValue() == "Story" ) {
   myLabalCustomField.setFormValue(['master', 'release'])
}

Second attempt:
I tried to use your documentation:

https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/recipes/behaviours/setting-default-fields.html#_setting_system_field_defaults

but i failed to do it.

Please help me, and thank you for your recommendation.

Kind regards,

Oliver

Hi @acoliver

I was looking to do the same and landed here from google results.

Checked further and found this bug with the adaptavist -> https://productsupport.adaptavist.com/browse/SRJIRA-1080

So it is not possible to set field default on the label field

Thought of letting you know, in case..
