Add users to multiuser field in ScriptRunner Behaviour

[Jason Adam]

I have the following ScriptRunner behaviour script for our "Required Reviewers" multiuser custom field:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.user.UserPropertyManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager

class SetRequiredReviewers extends com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
{
 def run()
 {
  IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
  def mutableIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(underlyingIssue.id)
  def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
  def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
  List<ApplicationUser> reviewMembers = groupManager.getUsersInGroup("Review Board Member")
  def reqRevField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Required Reviewers")
  mutableIssue.setCustomFieldValue(reqRevField, reviewMembers)

 }
}

However, it never populates, even though if I do some log debug statements, the users I currently have in the Review Board Member group are being found.  There's no errors, either.

I also tried adding just a list of user names, but that didn't work, either.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks!

Try like this

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.user.UserPropertyManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

class SetRequiredReviewers extends com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
{
 def run()
 {
  IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
  def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser();
  def mutableIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(underlyingIssue.id)
  def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
  def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
  List<ApplicationUser> reviewMembers = groupManager.getUsersInGroup("Review Board Member")
  def reqRevField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Required Reviewers")
  mutableIssue.setCustomFieldValue(reqRevField, reviewMembers)
  ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(user, mutableIssue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)
 }
}

Thanks for the response!

I'm trying to populate the field on screen launch.  Basically pre-populate the field for the user with default users pulled from the Review Board Member group.  So while that works, I have to go back into that state transition to see the update, and then continue with the flow.

If there was a way to set the default users in a multiuser select field to a group, instead of having to add individual users as default, that would be ideal.  Unfortunately I don't see a way to do that so I was using a behaviour.  Is there a better way?

[Alexey Matveev]

You are not using behaviours the right way. You should set values with setFormValue method.

I had tried that previously (all my other behaviors use the normal api and work fine), but all I get in the multiuser field is [object Object] when call reqField.setFormValue(reviewMembers). 

So perhaps I'm just not passing the correct list of values.  I'll mess around with it more.  Thanks!

[Jason Adam]

Ah yup that was my problem.  I was passing in the list of ApplicationUser and apparently via a Behaviour you have to pass in an array of user name Strings.  Got it!  THank you for the help.

I am glad you solved the problem

@Jason Adam Can you share your script for updating the multi user select field. I can't seem to get this to work. 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

def usersField = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.customFieldObjects.findByName("User(s)")
String[] users = ["boisvers"]
usersField.setFormValue(users)

[scott_boisvert]

Figured it out, you have to use getFieldByName for service desk/management forms:

def usersField = getFieldByName("User(s)")
usersField.setFormValue(["boisvers"])

Hi Jason,

could you please tell me how exactly did you solve this problem?

I am trying to achieve a similar thing. I want to pre populate a mult userpicker field with values from the same field of the parent issue. I tried a lot of approaches with arrays but just couldn't get it to work...

Here is my script so far:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager

def UserManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def parent = getFieldById("parentIssueId")
Long parentIssueId = parent.getFormValue() as Long
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def parentIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(parentIssueId)

//Parent
def teilnehmerField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(11400)
def parentValue = parentIssue.getCustomFieldValue(teilnehmerField).toString()

//Child
def teilnehmer = getFieldById("customfield_11400")
teilnehmer.setFormValue(parentValue)

I am only getting "[hessling(hessling)" pre populated in the multi user picker field, but not the usernames...

Many thanks in advance

Daphnis
