Using Scriptrunner to return custom field value

[Adam Gaudry]

Hi

I'm trying to use Scriptrunner to (in part) get the value of a custom field. However, at the moment I am getting an error.

This is what I am trying to do, to get the value.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder;

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

return getCustomFieldValue("Change Area") 

When I do this, I get this error:

2017-11-21 12:30:12,374 ERROR [runner.ScriptFieldPreviewRunner]: ************************************************************************************* 2017-11-21 12:30:12,375 ERROR [runner.ScriptFieldPreviewRunner]: Script field preview failed for field that has not yet been created groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: org.codehaus.groovy.jsr223.GroovyScriptEngineImpl.getCustomFieldValue() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [Change Area] at Script160.run(Script160.groovy:9)

I am a complete noob, so apologies if I am making an obvious mistake. Can someone point out the error of my ways?

Best wishes

Hello, 

You would need a script like this

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder;

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueByCurrentKey("issuekey")
def csChangeArea = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Change Area")

return issue.getCustomFieldValue(csChangeArea)
