Removing a value from a multi-select custom field in a post function

[Roy Chapman]

Does anyone have an example script that can be used in a post function to remove a value from a multi-select custom field?

Hi @Roy Chapman

I think this link might help you https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/How-to-remove-values-from-multiselect-checkbox/qaq-p/523033

There are some sample scripts on this page.

Thanks. That put me in the right direction.  I have implemented this script.

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue

def issue = issue as MutableIssue

def log = Logger.getLogger("com.acme.workflows")

CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();

def approvalGiven = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Approval Given")
def approvalGivenVal = issue.getCustomFieldValue(approvalGiven) as ArrayList

def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager()
def optionTech = optionsManager.getOptions(approvalGiven.getRelevantConfig(issue)).find {it.value == "Tech"}
def optionBusiness = optionsManager.getOptions(approvalGiven.getRelevantConfig(issue)).find {it.value == "Business"}
def optionRelease = optionsManager.getOptions(approvalGiven.getRelevantConfig(issue)).find {it.value == "Release"}

if (approvalGivenVal?.contains(optionRelease)) {
log.warn "Approval Given is set to " + optionRelease
approvalGivenVal.remove(optionRelease)
}

def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()
approvalGiven.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(approvalGiven), approvalGivenVal),changeHolder)

(The script is used in 3 places, hence the unused values optionTech and optionBusiness)

Thanks again
