set field based on part of another field

[Jenifer Kuntz]

Using JIRA Service Desk, customers are set with their email address as their user ID.  Based on the domain in their email I need to set a custom field (client)

I have Script runner and think that will do what I need but not sure where to start.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jenifer,

You can build a custom script and add it to the Create transition of the workflow used in that Service Desk. That post function should be called right after the issue is created.

I believe the following code will do more or less what you need:

import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService.UpdateValidationResult
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParameters

def Issue issue = issue

// retrieve user
def currentUser = ComponentManager.getInstance().jiraAuthenticationContext?.user

// update issue
if (currentUser?.emailAddress) {
    def IssueService issueService = ComponentAccessor.issueService
    def User adminUser = ComponentAccessor.userUtil.getUser("admin")
    def mailDomain = currentUser.emailAddress.substring(currentUser.emailAddress.indexOf("@")+1)

    IssueInputParameters issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters();
    issueInputParameters.addCustomFieldValue(10704, mailDomain)

    UpdateValidationResult validationResult = issueService.validateUpdate(adminUser, issue.id, issueInputParameters)
    if (validationResult.valid) {
        issueService.update(adminUser, validationResult)
    } else {
        log.debug(validationResult.errorCollection)
    }
}

Thank you so much! It worked perfectly!

I tested this on a regular test project and worked perfect. Added the custom field and the script to the Service Desk project and it is not working. Same user in both instances. I am assuming it has something to do with Service Desk seeing the user as a customer??? Any thoughts? Thank you again I really appreciate it! Jenifer

Yeah, it could definitely be related to the way users are handled in Service Desk. It might be worth to change def currentUser = ComponentManager.getInstance().jiraAuthenticationContext?.user into def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext?.user as the first call is actually deprecated. If that does not help, I would suggest to add some logging information around the retrieval of the user.
