Behaviour static type checking errors

[Kevin Berger]

We have installed the Adaptavist ScriptRunner for JIRA plugin. We would like to implement Behaviours Initialisers; however we find that code that we think should work results in static type checking errors. For example, this Behaviour serverside script has issues as it indicates:

"The variable [issue] is undeclared"

Our code is:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def textCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Client")
String clientname = issue.getCustomFieldValue(textCf)

However, this script has no issues when we add a script Post-function (Custom script post-function) to a workflow transition.

Is this expected? Is there something we can do to get this working in a Behaviour Initialiser script?

You need to use "underlyingIssue" instead of "issue" for behaviours: https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/behaviours-overview.html#zeroClipboardButton0

So your code should be:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def textCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Client")
String clientName = underlyingIssue.getCustomFieldValue(textCf)

Thanks Adam. That works.
