How to set watcher based on custom field with Scriptrunner

Paul Tandy

Hi Guys,

today is the first-time that I'm attempting to use scriptrunner. Being someone thats never coded before, its proving to be an interesting challenge.

The user requirement should be easy,

1 When customfield Severity -cf[11807] = High

2 Add the JIRA group "TSM Managers" to the watchers

My idea, is to add the script into the post function for the workflow.

Sounds simple and probably is when you understand how scriptrunner works.

Thanks for your help.

Paul

You can not add groups as watchers. You can add only users.

Paul Tandy

You should still be able to extract the users from the group and add them to the watchers list.

Alexey Matveev

Yes, you can do it. You can find it here:

You can find how to add users as watchers here:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-questions/Grrovy-Scirpt-to-add-user-to-Watcher-List/qaq-p/178738

I guess, you have everything you need to write your script.

Thanks Alexey,

As we only have x3 users whom need to be notified when the ticket severity is high, we decided to hardcore them to the watchers list.

Run a Groovy script against the current issue:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
 
def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

def user1 = userManager.getUserByName("arey")
def user2 = userManager.getUserByName("seboursi")
def user3 = userManager.getUserByName("vrakotom")
def Sev = issue.get("customfield_11834")

if(Sev == "High") {
watcherManager.startWatching(user1, issue)
watcherManager.startWatching(user2, issue)
watcherManager.startWatching(user3, issue)

Thanks for your help.

Now Ive been asked to setup a NEW "calculated field" which requires a script that is above my basic coding levels!

Cheers,

Paul
