ScriptRunner Behaviors: Set comment visibility (commentLevel)

Question

Hi all,

I'm trying to set default comment visibility with ScriptRunner Behaviors.

SRJIRA-2545 says that it's possible with the following script:

def formField = getFieldById("commentLevel")
formField.setFormValue("role:10011")

So I tried it: for the comment field for a specific project (all issue types in it):

without success (this is the issue view screen, tried refreshing cache with Ctrl+Shift+R):

Here are the roles that I have, I marked the role ID so that there's no doubt I used the right one in the script:

What am I doing wrong? (it's in a Jira Service Desk project)

Environment:

JIRA Service Desk 3.11.0 (Jira 7.8.0)
ScriptRunner 5.3.9
Tried on:
Google Chrome 65.0.3325.181
Firefox 59.0.2

Discovered something that I wasn't aware of.  The defaulting is only working on the Edit screen of an issue and not the Browse screen of the issue.  I now recall that Behaviors are only meant for the Edit screen, but hopefully Adaptavist may have some other guidance.

I'm having the exact same issue.   I've got code as an initializer without a field and decided to try your approach as well to add it to the Comment field.  Adaptavist responded to a ticket I raised indicating that a bug was fixed in version 5.3.9.  Since you're on 5.3.9, I would think you'd be fine.  (my system has an issue and I can't get from 5.3.26 to 5.3.9 so I'm still working on it myself)

I  will suggest you try putting the code in as an initializer alone as I reviewed debug log messages I made and it looks like they were never hit when expressed as a server script for the Comment field.  Could be wrong, though.
