Unable to set approver in JIRA service desk

[Rashmi Belur]

Hi,

I am using JIRA service desk 3.4.3 with JIRA 7.3 and script runner 5.0.14.

I want to set approver automatically on create issue transition. Here is my code. This returns error

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.util.ImportUtils
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.DefaultUserManager
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
CustomField CF = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Approvers");
def user = userManager.getUserByName("admin")
issue.setCustomFieldValue(CF, user);

I am getting error on creating issues and error logs as follows, I have couple other scriptrunner post functions which work fine with the same version of plugin

Try calling this at the end of your script:

issueManager.updateIssue(user,issue,EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED,true);

You'll also need to 

import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

I do something very similar: Here is my code that I got to work on Jira Server 7.5.0

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
ProjectManager projectManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager()

def customFieldProject = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Project Selection")
def projectName = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customFieldProject).toString().substring(9)
projectLead = projectManager.getProjectObjByKey(projectName).getProjectLead()

log.debug(projectName.toString())
log.debug(projectLead.toString())

CustomField customFieldApprovers = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName( "Approvers" );

issue.setCustomFieldValue(customFieldApprovers, [projectLead])

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

IssueManager issueManager=ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
issueManager.updateIssue(user,issue,EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED,true);

log.debug(issue.getCustomFieldValue(customFieldApprovers).toString())
