Hello ,

I have a user property called Team Leader and once I create an issue I want the team lead (user picker custom field ) to take this value and put it as watchers to the issue.

Not able to update the field value, The method is not working.

I Tried to write this code but the update Value is not working.and also the watch is not working

Any advice please??

def tgtField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'Team Lead'}

def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder();

tgtField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue("", TeamLeader),changeHolder);

def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
watcherManager.startWatching(TeamLeader,issue.getGenericValue())

Hello Rita,

I think you missed one step:

def nuser = userManager.getUserByName(TeamLeader)

watcherManager.startWatching(nuser,issue.getGenericValue())

Are you also sure you well get the string TeamLeader?

Regards,

Franck

Hello @Franck LAMBEZ

I can get the value of TeamLeader

I got the following error.

Any advice?

Thanks

[Franck LAMBEZ]

Can you please try this:

def nuser = userManager.getUserByName(TeamLeader)

def assigneeWatcher = userManager.getUserObject(nuser);

watcherManager.startWatching(assigneeWatcher ,issue.getGenericValue())

If this don't work please read the following :

In fact I have a code that works (when changing assignee, the old one keeps whatching):

def assignee = issue.assigneeId;

// somehow,we have to find out the JIRA Id of your TeamLeader

def assigneeWatcher = userManager.getUserObject(assignee);

watcherManager.startWatching(assigneeWatcher , issue.genericValue);

@Franck LAMBEZ the custom field called 'Team Lead'

Teamleader is the the value of user property. am not able to update the value on creation of issue to put it as watcher.

Awaiting your feedback,

@Franck LAMBEZ Please note that I have JIRA 7 and issue.genericValue is not working 

Thanks you
