Nest a group via Groovy using script runner

[Carlos David]

I've enabled Nested groups in jira, but now wish to nest AD groups within jira groups with groovy (via the Script Runner console).

groupService.addGroupsToGroups() 

does not work via the Script Runner console, no error message is provided

Hey Jignasha,

you could add a "single user picker" or "multi user picker" custom field  and name it participants f.e. 
There you could set associated user or followers-like.  

Administration -> custom fields -> add custom field (Standard for single user and advanced for multiple) and add it to your wanted screen.

Thanks, it worked for me like a charm...

Hello Simon, It works. Thanks and highly appreciate for a quick help.

Though I did it at issue level, I did not find the custom field option at project level or globally thru out every project. I want to add it globally.

To add it globally you should set the custom field on the "Default Screen".
