Jira script Listener: handling events

Muhammad Bajwa

Hi Everyone,

I have set up a script that I run on create and update of an issue, I have it set up so it compares the old and new value of a few fields to figure out if the scripts should be run (has the field changed).

The issue I am having is that now it only runs on an update, it does not run on a create issue event.

This is what I want to do:

if(fieldA_Changed || eventIsCreate) {

     blah blah

}

I am not sure how I can check to see if the event type is a create event, not an update event.

anyone familiar with this?

 

Thanks!

I was able to figure this out, I used event.getEventTypeId() to get the event type Id and check for it.

def eventTypeId = event.getEventTypeId()

if (eventTypeId == 3) { //3 is for create Issue, 2 is for update issue

   //do stuff

}
