Help needed with Custom field and Issue Security level

Vin_ygezfm

Hello experts,

I have multiple teams accessing same JIRA server project. I have set up Issue level security to ensure confidentiality is maintained.  I import my issues using the CSV file. I figured that there is no way to set the Issue level security in CSV file because Security level cannot be mapped while importing. This is what I tried to solve this problem.

 

I created a temporary custom field in JIRA to hold the team name. This field is populated in CSV file. Used a post script function to copy the value from custom field to "Security Level" field. Default value for "security level" is "none".

 

When I import the issues, I see that the values are copied to custom filed from CSV file. But the post function is not working. I used "Copy Value From Field to Field" post function. I tried various combinations with checkbox to experiment. But when issue is created, none is assigned to the security level. 

 

Can any of you help me!!

Custom fields contain custom field data (I don't know if you used a string based custom field, or a select list, which will contain options).  The security level field contains a security level.

Copying a value won't work, as they're different things.  You will need to do some scripting - something to read the string/option, find the equivalent security level and set that.
