How to get a specific issue object by id in Script Runner for Jira Cloud

unknown

I am attempting to troubleshoot a script runner workflow post function in the script runner console, and would like to assign the default issue object to a specific issue by id so I can use the console to run and edit the failing code.

How can I assign the issue object to a specific issue by ID? I would expect something like:

     def issue = getIssueByID("JRA-123")

so that I can then do stuff like:

     def fieldValue = issue.fields[fieldID] as String

Hello,

You can use the IssueManager from JIRA's API to do this. I believe specifically that getIssueObject('your Issue ID') will do what you are looking for.

You'll also probably want to take a look at Issue and MutableIssue for information on how to get and set values in an issue.

Hope this helps you out!

Hi Jenna,

Thanks for responding. All of that makes sense, I just can't seem to figure out how to make that kind of call using the REST APIs since I'm in the cloud environment and can't use the Java API.

It seems like maybe it should be as simple as:

     def issue = get('/rest/api/2/issue/JRA-123')

but that throws the following error, so I imagine I need to explicitly map it maybe?
