How do i set a default user when using clone post function

Question

I have used the clone functionality to clone a JIRA if a certain condition is met, however how do I set that a custom user select field is defaulted to a particular user only for the cloned JIRA.

Below is the current syntax

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager

def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(OptionsManager)
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

// set Scrap field to Yes
def scrapCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("POD")
def fieldConfig = scrapCf.getRelevantConfig(issue)
def option = optionsManager.getOptions(fieldConfig).getOptionForValue("Transaction", null)
issue.setCustomFieldValue(scrapCf, option)

checkAttachment = {attachment -> false};
issue.assigneeId = null;
issue.summary = "[Reporting]-"+ transientVars["issue"].summary;
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.util.UserMessageUtil
UserMessageUtil.success('Backreporting Ticket created.')

When i add, the below to it, it doesn't work:

def validatingUser = getFieldByName("Ticket Owner")
validatingUser.setFormValue("stanme")

Can anyone help?

Sorry this is very strange - unless I'm missing something this should work:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(OptionsManager)
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

// set Scrap field to Yes
def scrapCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("POD")
def fieldConfig = scrapCf.getRelevantConfig(issue)
def option = optionsManager.getOptions(fieldConfig).getOptionForValue("Transaction", null)
issue.setCustomFieldValue(scrapCf, option)

def ticketOwnerCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Ticket Owner")
def stanNameCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("stanme")
issue.setCustomFieldValue(stanNameCf, issue.getCustomFieldValue(ticketOwnerCf))
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

checkAttachment = {attachment -> false};
issue.assigneeId = null;
issue.summary = "[Reporting]-"+ transientVars["issue"].summary;
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.util.UserMessageUtil
UserMessageUtil.success('Backreporting Ticket created.')

def ticketOwnerCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Ticket Owner")
def stanNameCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("stanme")
issue.setCustomFieldValue(stanNameCf, issue.getCustomFieldValue(ticketOwnerCf))
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

and add import:

import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

Hi,

I replacing the last lines with your suggestion, however whilst the cloning still works, the field 'Ticket owner' was not defaulted to 'stanme'; it retained the original value
