Jelly Script to set a Component on an Issue

[justin.taylor@ooba.co.za]

Hi

I am trying to set a component on an issue using Jelly, I have tried this but it doesnt work:

<core:set var="componentToAdd" value="OPS" />

<core:invoke on="${issueKey}" method="getComponents" var="components" />

<core:invoke on="${components}" method="add" var="flag">

<core:arg type="org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue" value="${componentToAdd}" />

</core:invoke>

<core:invoke on="${issueKey}" method="setComponents">

<core:arg type="java.util.Collection" value="${components}" />

</core:invoke>

But I get the following error:

org.apache.commons.jelly.JellyTagException: null:30:0: Can't convert OPS to class org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue

How would i set a component into the collection in jelly?

After a lot of slogging I got this working well :) see below in bold for this issue!! I have pasted my whole script here in case anyone else has use for it, it covers a lot of jelly questions. Ths script goes through and sets the jira components of an issue based on a custom field component (each issue type has their own component list).

<JiraJelly xmlns:jira="jelly:com.atlassian.jira.jelly.enterprise.JiraTagLib" xmlns:core="jelly:core" xmlns:log="jelly:log">

Thanks Justin

You could use jira:TransitionWorkflow tag. Create a transition that returns to itself and during the transition you could update the issue component.

[Zul NS _Atlassian_]

May I suggest using REST API instead? You can check out the PUT method using /rest/api/2/issue/

Ok i have just tried using string and it works up to a point, it now populates the component collection, but its not setting the component on the issue:

<core:invoke on="${issueKey}" method="getComponents" var="components" />

<core:invoke on="${components}" method="add" var="flag">

<core:arg type="java.lang.String" value="OPS" />

</core:invoke>

<jira:AddComment comment="components ${components}" issue-key="SUP-27096"/>

<core:invoke on="${issueKey}" method="setComponents">

<core:arg type="java.util.Collection" value="${components}" />

</core:invoke>
