Script Runner Rename User Script only changes internal directory groups?

Question

Hello, I was working on adapting the existing Rename User script for JIRA 6.3 I got it working, to some extent, but something odd came up in doing some changes that explains a bug that we've had to workaround in the past: gvs = gd.findByAnd("Membership", [childName: sourceUser, directoryId: 1, membershipType: "GROUP_USER"]) msg = "Update ${gvs.size()} Membership records" log.debug(msg) msgs << msg if (!preview) { List targetGvs = gd.findByAnd("Membership", [childName: targetUser, directoryId: 1, membershipType: "GROUP_USER"]) List

Hi Alejo,

Again, that's completely beside the question that I'm asking here.  I'm aware that the classes are deprecated.  It wasn't written by me and hasn't been updated since jira5 (at least).  I'm simply asking if there is a specific reason why only the internal directory is changed in the script, is it to avoid a bug/issue of which I'm still unaware?

I've actually done some adjustments in the live code that I'm using in order to avoid the deprecated classes and methods, this is the original code from the plugin that I'm posting here as a reference.

The example code you got is a bit old and it is using deprecated classes. That was the probably the way of achieving this in Jira 4/5, but I'm sure there is a better way to do it with the new managers and services provided in the newest Jira API versions

Hi Joao,

I'm not trying to troubleshoot a bug here.  I'm not having any significant problems with my script.  I was just asking why the script was written that way in the first place, as I didn't write it, it's a segment from the rename user script that Jamie Echlin wrote.
