Set User Picker in Jira Service Desk with ScriptRunner Behaviour

[Michael Müller]

How can I set one or more users to the Approvers field with a ScriptRunner behaviour?

I tried setFormValue("user1") but it did not work. Here is the code.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
 

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def approversField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Approvers")

approversField.setFormValue(["user1"])

Hello @Michael Müller

To set value on the form via behaviour, you need to get FormField object like this:

def approversField = getFieldByName("Approvers")

approversField.setFormValue(["user1"])

Hi Mark

Would you be able to show me a simple script to pull the users into the field based on security group?

Preferably with an if statement based on another field. If custom field application type = x then pre fill approvers field with members of X application approvers group.

thanks
