On the create transition, I'd like to add watchers based on checkbox custom field selection

Question

We're using scriptrunner, and I'd like to custom script a post function to do this.  I've given it a shot, and I'm not getting the watchers, but there are no errors.

Here's the most recent version of the script...

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

log.debug "In WATCHER Script"

def CustomFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def websiteCustomField = CustomFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Website')
def websiteValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(websiteCustomField)

log.debug 'websiteCustomField is' + websiteCustomField
log.debug 'websiteValue is ' + websiteValue

if(websiteValue == '[Oracle Commerce Backend]') {
def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
watcherManager.startWatching(userManager.getUserByKey('user1'), issue)
watcherManager.startWatching(userManager.getUserByKey('user2'), issue)
log.debug('user1 and user2 should be watchers')
}

Hello,

I guess you are not entering the if condition. Are you sure that you enter the if condition? Specifically [Oracle Commerce Backend] does  not look right for comparison. Does it mean that the websiteValue is a List? what is the type fo the Website custom field?

If websiteValue is a list, your comparison should look like this:

websiteValue.first() = 'Oracle Commerce Backend'

or you can try

'Oracle Commerce Backend' in websiteValue
