Scriptrunner - How do I trigger behaviors manually/after system import?

Question

Here is a snipper of my behaviors mostly using this function:

getFieldByName('a').setFormValue(b)

Which I guess explains why the field 'a' changes its value only when editing the form, it's in the name - setFormValue.

Is there any way to trigger the behavior and update the issues without going over and triggering them manually for the old issues? I am currently sitting on a lot of imported issues that were unaffected by the behavior. Any ideas?

Hi @Cedacri - welcome to the community,

by default the behaviour lives within one issue especially the formValue as it is in the creste/edit form (as you already mentioned correctly).

So I‘m not sure if I got your requirement right. Should one issue update fields of several other issues? or did i get something wrong?

Could you please describe your whole use case from a functional/use case perspective? (try to tell the background like a story to me) That might help to find a suitable solution for the exact requirement.

Best
