Jira Behaviour - Check if user is part of 'Approvers' user picker field

[Joel Batac]

Hi,

 I'm wondering how to check/compare if the current user is listed in a user-picker filed named Approvers. I want to hide a field if the user doesn't belong (or listed) in the field. 

Thanks.

Hi @Joel Batac ,

please try the following code :

import java.util.List;

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser;

CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
ApplicationUser currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser();
CustomField approversCF = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Approvers");

Issue issue = getUnderlyingIssue();
def field = getFieldByName("YOUR_FIELD_NAME_HERE");

List<ApplicationUser> approvers = issue.getCustomFieldValue(approversCF)!=null?(List<ApplicationUser>)issue.getCustomFieldValue(approversCF)):null;
if(approvers.contains(currentUser))){
field.setHidden(false);
} else {
field.setHidden(true);
}

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Thanks Fabio. I new to scriptrunner. Can you explain this part?

List<ApplicationUser> approvers = underlyingIssue?.getCustomFieldValue(approversCF)!=null?(List<ApplicationUser>)underlyingIssue?.getCustomFieldValue(approversCF):null;

Hey @Joel Batac , that part of code retrieves list of users stored in custom field Approvers.
