How to assign CurrentUser to customfield in JIRA Automation Plugin?

[Jakub Wasiak]

Hi,

i would like to write a rule which will be set customfield to value of "CurrentUser" after IssueCommented Event. (something like this -> customfield_10604=CurrentUser)

How can i make this because this return an error?

Best Regard, Jakub

How about using $authcontext.loggedInUser.name ? Won't that work? It should expand all things in standard velocity context, see https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-architecture/web-fragments/velocity-contexts

Hi MateJ,

We think it'd be useful if the ability to set the the currentUser() or the event author to a custom field is supported. Is it something going to be supported in the near future? 

Best regards.

Hi Matej,

thanks for your response.

It doesn`t work.

Is it even possible to set dynamic variable in JIRA Automation Plugin rule?

You're right, I've checked the code and it doesn't provide the full Velocity context, only very limited subset - issue info (like key, summary etc) and customfield values. Due to that it's currently not possible however with a little bit of coding skills you can extend the EditIssueAction and implement this.

Ok I understand. Thank you for your help.

Hi, thanks for your response.

but what about "Work Logged on Issue" event? I would like to create rule in JIRA Automation Plugin when somebody "Work Log on Issue" and then rule will set customfield to value="CurrentUser".

I won`t using postfunction in workflows.

You can write post function, after issue commented  you have to set customfield value to current user, you may look customfield and usermanager classes.
