Auto assign issue based on the value selected in the custom field.

Aravindi Amarasinghe

Hello!

I have custom field called Test Phase which is a single select list. I want to assign the issue to user AA when "Prod" selected and to user BB when "Dev" selected in Test Phase.

I am new to script runner and I tried following script and failed. Can you please check and let me know the problem of this script?

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

String userName;
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Test Phase")
def cfTestPhase = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)
switch(issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfTestPhase)){
case "Prod": userName = "AA";break;
case "DEV": userName = "BB";break;

}
log.error(userName)
log.error(issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfTestPhase));
issue.setAssignee(ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName(userName))

Your script should look like this and you should assign the user name to the userName variable not the user display name

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption


String userName;
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Test Phase")
def cfTestPhase = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)
switch(cfTestPhase){
case "Prod": userName = "AA";break;
case "DEV": userName = "BB";break;

}
log.error(userName)
log.error(cfTestPhase);
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
issue.setAssignee(ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName(userName))
ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

Hi @Alexey Matveev,

Thank you for your reply. I tried the script and it still doesn't assign the issue to the right person but the default person.

We use our employee Ids as our username in JIRA. So AA and BB replaced by related user ids.

I put the script as a create post function in the workflow.

Alexey Matveev

You should put the script last in the post function list. Could you provide a screenshot for the create transition with all the post-functions?

You are aware of components and component leads yes?

Ethan Foulkes_q39h0k

BTW would love to chat with you offline sometime. Drop me an email if interested. ethan at theresponsiveproject dot com

Yes I am but it doesn't fix with my requirement.

Hi @Alexey Matveev,

The script works well I have combined it with other custom field as well.

I have a another requirement if user change the assignee during the transition, it should overwrite the auto assignee value.

Do you have any idea how to do that?

Alexey Matveev

Hello,

I saw your question. But I could not figure it out how to set the auto assignee value with ScriptRunner behaviours. I wanted to dig deeper into the source code of Scriptrunner to see if it is possible, but unfortunately I did not have time for it. Maybe someone from Adaptivist will answer the question.
