Post-Function ScriptRunner script to update summary with name of following month

[Chris Ghazanchian]

Hello! I am new to scriptrunner and programming in general so I am struggling with how to achieve what I would like.

Here's my scenario-

I have issues within my project that have a custom date field "Billing Cycle Date".

I would like to run a workflow post function script which will take the billing cycle date, calculate what the next month is, and then append the name of the month into the summary.

So, let's say for a given issue:

Summary: Issue1

Billing Cycle Date: 3/5/2018

Upon workflow transition, postfunction script runs and sets Summary to "Issue1 - April"

I have spent multiple days trying to figure this out but nothing is working properly, any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I think your best bet in this situation would be to bulk assign issues from the imported user name to the existing user name on JIRA side, and upon completion disable the imported username in order to prevent it from counting toward your license limit.

Thanks. That's a valid option.

Just a few concerns I'd like to resolve before actually doing this:

1. After doing the bulk changes, when a (Bitbucket) user mentions an issue in a commit message, how does JIRA know to update the issue as the appropriate user on JIRA's side?
2. If a user performs repository operations from within a JIRA issue (like create a branch), how does Bitbucket know to associate the operation with the correct Bitbucket user?

JIRA DVCS Connector will set up links between your repositories and your JIRA account, you can check those manually from the repository. Go to your repo settings on Bitbucket, and click on "links" and you should see the links that Bitbucket has to your JIRA URL.

As for actions performed from JIRA, Bitbucket will check if you have a session in the browser logged into your Bitbucket account, and will make API calls for the request to perform these operations. So authentication is done in the background, if there's no sessions, then Bitbucket will ask you to login.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

I found how to bulk change assignee and reporter on issues,

but is there a way to bulk edit the user of issue comments?

Also, the Bitbucket issues are imported with their Bitbucket watchlists. Is there a way to bulk edit the watchlists user to the JIRA users?

btw, how do I "disable" the imported user? I could not find such an operation in the user management view.
