Making a REST call using script runner

[Mike Whitlock]

Hi. I need to make a REST call to another application from JIRA. The call needs to do a post of json data. I have spent all day googling this and can't come up with anything. Does someone have an example of where they are posting json in a groovy script? I am trying to do this in script runner. Thanks in advance. Mike

Hi Rashmi,

All you need to do is remove the first line of code. The package name is not necessary and will cause an error.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormField
import groovy.transform.BaseScript
import java.sql.Timestamp
import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.*

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

FormField field = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
FormField parent = getFieldById("parentIssueId")
Long parentIssueId = parent.getFormValue() as Long

if (!parentIssueId || field.getFormValue()) {
    // this is not a subtask, or the field already has data
 return
}

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def parentIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(parentIssueId)
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

// REMOVE OR MODIFY THE SETTING OF THESE FIELDS AS NECESSARY

getFieldById(COMPONENTS).setFormValue(parentIssue.components*.id)
