Am I assigning the users in the right way?

[Shagufta Gurmukhdas]

I am using the following code to assign user in a postfunction depending on a condition:

for(Issue subtask: issue.getSubTaskObjects()){

    mutableIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(subtask.getId())

if(mutableIssue.summary=='SomeSummary'){

    ApplicationUser usera=userManager.getUserByName("SomePerson")

mutableIssue.setAssignee(usera);

issueManager.updateIssue(user, mutableIssue, com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false);
    } 

After creation, it is assigned to SomePerson. I also have a Kanban board which has a filter of displaying the issues which are only assigned to SomePerson. This issue doesn't show up there. When I go to the issue and manually assign it to some other user and then back to this user (SomePerson), this issue shows up on the kanban board. So I am assuming this is due to some error in assigning the issue programmatically. What is the problem here?

Hi Shagufta,

The following code will assign the issue TP-1 to the user with username admin

def issueKey = 'TP-1'
def result = put('/rest/api/2/issue/' + issueKey)
        .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
        .body([
        fields:[
                assignee: [name: 'admin']
        ]
])
        .asString()
if (result.status == 204) {
    println 'Successfully assigned to admin'
} else {
    println "Failed to assign to admin: ${result.status}: ${result.body}"
}

Regards, Jon

Why would you want to do an REST call from an post function? 

[Jon Bevan [Adaptavist]]

In JIRA Cloud, REST APIs are the only way to interact with JIRA. See the ScriptRunner documentation for more information.

Thanks Jon for clarification.

Dear @Shagufta Gurmukhdas, try this code:

for(Issue subtask: issue.getSubTaskObjects()) {
    mutableIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(subtask.getId())
    if (mutableIssue.summary == 'SomeSummary') {
        ApplicationUser usera = userManager.getUserByName("SomePerson")
        mutableIssue.setAssignee(usera.directoryUser);
        issueManager.updateIssue(user, mutableIssue, com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false);
    }
}

[Shagufta Gurmukhdas]

But the setAssignee function is expecting an ApplicationUser object @Vasiliy Zverev

[Jon Bevan [Adaptavist]]

This code will not work in JIRA Cloud - see the ScriptRunner documentation for more info.

[Vasiliy Zverev]

Class depends on JIRA version. Which one do you use?

[Shagufta Gurmukhdas]

The latest

[Shagufta Gurmukhdas]

I did convert it using ApplicationUsers.from(usera.directoryUser) too, but the original issue is still there

[Vasiliy Zverev]

For me it is better to use this:

for(Issue subtask: issue.getSubTaskObjects()) {
    mutableIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(subtask.getId())
    if (mutableIssue.summary == 'SomeSummary') {
        ApplicationUser usera = userManager.getUserByName("SomePerson")
        mutableIssue.setAssigneeId(usera.getName());
        issueManager.updateIssue(user, mutableIssue, com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false);
    }
}

[Shagufta Gurmukhdas]

It does not work. The above code just assigns that string with the name to the issue which is not clickable( a hyperlink of user's profile) . I mean, it does not assign it to the user.

[Vasiliy Zverev]

Hm, let try this one:

for(Issue subtask: issue.getSubTaskObjects()) {
    mutableIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(subtask.getId())
    if (mutableIssue.summary == 'SomeSummary') {
        ApplicationUser usera = userManager.getUserByName("SomePerson")
        mutableIssue.setAssigneeId(usera.getKey());
        issueManager.updateIssue(user, mutableIssue, com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false);
    }
}

[Shagufta Gurmukhdas]

This works, but the original issue is still there(the kanban board of this user doesnt display the issue until manually assigned. ) 

[Vasiliy Zverev]

Is this postfunction is used on create transiton?

[Shagufta Gurmukhdas]

No, this is on the progress transition

[Shagufta Gurmukhdas]

when this issue is transitioned to inprogress, the subtasks should be assigned to appropriate users automatically. And that is happening fine in the code. The only problem is, it isnt shpowing up on the users' kanban boards, but after i again manually assign it to them, it is showing. This is so strange..

[Vasiliy Zverev]

Hm, is there reindex postfunction after this script one?

[Shagufta Gurmukhdas]

Yes there is reindex after 2-3 steps. This script is the first step.

I have never faced this case. I think that you should create another answer about it.
