Scriptrunner - Update a script variable through code

Philippe_7kqlmt

hi,

I'd like to update via a script a "Scriptrunner script variable".

For my example, each of my new ticket must get a new specific delivery date based on the last delivery date assigned + 3 days.

I'm using the script variable NEXT_DUE_DATE to do that :

logger.info("My script variable current value : " + NEXT_DUE_DATE)

// Date.parse() to convert String to Date.
Date date = new Date()
date = date.parse('dd/MMM/yy', NEXT_DUE_DATE)

date=date+3

NEXT_DUE_DATE = date.format("dd/MMM/yy")

logger.info("My script variable new value : " + NEXT_DUE_DATE)

My code doesn't display errors but the script variable value doesn't change.

Any idea ?

Hi Phillipe,

Thank you for your question.

I can confirm that script variables are designed to store values which can be injected to scripts and used in scripts as described here but that you cannot change the value of a script value from a script due to the security restrictions which Atlassian place on Jira Cloud. 

This means that for your script that you will be able to update the data value inside the script and can store it inside a local variable for when that script is run but that you cannot persit the value back to the Script Value field.
