Use Scriptrunner cloud to update summary plus a custom field for a group of issues

[Gabriel.Goluta]

Hello everyone,

The idea is the following:

I import automatically a list of issues by email for a recruitment Jira board.

On those issues, the summary is something like: "New application: Network Engineer from First_Name Last_Name"

I want to run a script on very first transition (issue created) which transforms this summary:

- removes first 17 chars ("New application:")

- saves job title and populates a custom field with it

- new summary value should be "First_Name Last_Name"

I tried a lot to get the summary value as a string to be able to work on it but whatever I do, I cannot get that value at all.

My code now looks something like this:

// Define a JQL query to search for the issues on which you want to set the impediment flag
def query = "some_query"

// Search for the issues we want to update
def searchReq = get("/rest/api/2/search")
.queryString("jql", query)
.asObject(Map)

// Verify the search completed successfully
assert searchReq.status == 200

// Save the search results as a Map
Map searchResult = searchReq.body

// Iterate through the search results and set the summary and custom field value for each issue returned
searchResult.issues.each { Map issue ->


String sum = (issue.fields.summary as String)

if (sum.toLowerCase().contains('new application:')) {



// Trim and split the summary

sum = sum.substring(17)
String new_summary = sum.split('from ');




//Update the summary and the custom field

def result = put('/rest/api/2/issue/' + issue.key)
.queryString("overrideScreenSecurity", Boolean.TRUE)
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.body([
fields:[
issue.fields['10102'] : new_summary[0],

summary: new_summary[1]
]
]),

.asString();

// Log out the issues updated or which failed to update
if (result.status == 204) {
logger.info("The ${issue.key} issue was flagged as an Impediment. ")
} else {
logger.warn("Failed to set the summary on the ${issue.key} issue. ${result.status}: ${result.body}")
}
}
} // end of loop

return "Script Completed - Check the Logs tab for information on which issues were updated."

I get an error saying that the summary variable is not defined here:
String sum = (issue.fields.summary as String)

Can someone please help me?

I managed to fix it today, seems I was missing the fields definition:

def fields = issue.fields as Map

The updated code now looks like this and it works fine:

//Define the JQL query to be run
def query = "project = xx AND key = 'xxxxx' ORDER BY created DESC"

//Execute the query and save the issues as a Map
Map<String, Object> searchResult = get('/rest/api/2/search')
.queryString('jql', query)
.queryString('fields', 'summary')
.asObject(Map)
.body

def issues = (List<Map<String, Object>>) searchResult.issues

//Start the iteration through the issues
issues.each { Map issue ->

//get each issue fields and key
def fields = issue.fields as Map
def issueKey = issue.key

// Get the Custom field to get the option value from
def customField = get("/rest/api/2/field")
.asObject(List)
.body
.find {
(it as Map).name == 'Job Role'
} as Map

//Get the issue Summary value as string
def sum = fields.summary.toString()

//If condition for issues coming automatically from LinkedIn which were not processed
if (sum.contains("New application: ")) {

//Process the summary information, extract the Job Role and new summary value as First_Name Last_Name
sum = sum.substring(17)
def new_summary = sum.split(' from ');

//Execute the put operation to update the fields
def result = put("/rest/api/2/issue/${issueKey}")
.queryString("overrideScreenSecurity", Boolean.TRUE)
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.body([
fields: [
summary: "${new_summary[1]}",
(customField.id):[value: "${new_summary[0]}"] as Map

]
])
.asString() 
}

}
