Hi @Leo Epstein ,

please try the following code :

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.label.Label;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.label.LabelManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.security.JiraAuthenticationContext;

LabelManager labelManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponentOfType(LabelManager.class);
JiraAuthenticationContext jiraAuthenticationContext = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext();
Label label = labelManager.addLabel(jiraAuthenticationContext.getLoggedInUser(), issue.getId(), "YOUR_LABEL_HERE", false);

Please let me know if it works.

Fabio

Hi @Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_ ,

It works, thank you very much!!!

This is exactly what I was looking for!

Just one more question:

Is it possible to make the script so, that it works even while creating a new issue in Jira?

If I try, I get the following message.

Regards, Leo

Hi @Leo Epstein ,

try the following scriptedpost function

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.label.Label;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.label.LabelManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.security.JiraAuthenticationContext;

Issue currentIssue = issue;

LabelManager labelManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponentOfType(LabelManager.class);
JiraAuthenticationContext jiraAuthenticationContext = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext();
Label label = labelManager.addLabel(jiraAuthenticationContext.getLoggedInUser(), currentIssue.getId(), "YOUR_LABEL_HERE", false);

Hi  @Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_ ,
Thanks again!

Unfortunately I'm getting the same error "issueId should not be null!".

It seems, that an issue should be created first, and Post Function in Create Transaction cannot set a value of a field... :(

Regards

Leo

Hi @Leo Epstein ,

you should place your scripted post function after "Create the issue originally " that's the trick.
