Using Script field in another script

[Marzi Goodarzian]

Hi

I wrote a script field previously, and now I want call this field in another script, but this field return null.

for example:

I wrote a field script that returm sum of a number fields in subtasks of a Issue(called Overall_Weight), and it returned correct answer and shown this answer in view screen.
Now ,I Called this field with by this method (issue.getCustomFieldValue(Overall_Weight) , but retuen null.

 I asked this question from Scriptrunner support , and tell me this problem fixed in jira 8.16  or above, my jira version is 8.5.0.

Did you use a solution in this version?
How to call script field in a another script?

Thanks

The short answer is that you don't.

Because of the way Jira works, you can not rely on the value of a scripted field being correct or even populated when you are running other scripts.

Your new script will need to replicate the code behind the scripted field.

Hi @Marzi Goodarzian ,

for my knowledge you can't reuse code in another context. The only way is to use the same code of your scripted field in your script.
