ScriptRunner Behavior - Setting value of user picker

[AbrahamA]

Hello All

I have to read user picker field from 1 issue and set it in other. I am getting error in step-3 and not sure if step-4 is required, if so how to do it.

Step-1: Getting other issue to read user info from current issue. In current  issue other issue is picked in a issue picker

def relatedIssue = ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey(issuePickerFieldValue as String)

Step-2: Getting user field from other issue, if not set in current issue

def relatedCustomUserFieldValue = relatedIssue.getCustomFieldValue("My User")

Step-3: Populate issue picker in the current issue ( Error on line 3)

def myPM = getFieldByName(userFieldName[0])
def pmuser = userManager.getUserByKey(relatedCustomUserFieldValue)
setCustomFieldValue(myPM,pmuser)  // Error says no matching method

Step-4: Need to update the current issue, is it required

I know ScriptRunner console equivalent code as below, is there equivalent for behavior?

ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(currentUser, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

Please let me know 

Abe

Hi @AbrahamA 

IMHO You should use setFormValue.

Please take a look on this links:

Hello

Thanks for the response. Here is the code I wrote in the Behavior. When I select "Related Issue" in the issue picker field, I expect PM field to be populated.

PM field is not populated. I also do not see log lines in atlassian-jira.log

Please let me know if you see any issue in the code, and why I do not see log lines.

 Behavior is mapped to proper project and issuetype

// Get the PM name to set
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
final userFieldName = 'PM'
def myUserField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName('PM')[0]
relatedIssue.getCustomFieldValue(myUserField)
def relatedCustomUserFieldValue = (myUserField ? relatedIssue.getCustomFieldValue(myUserField) : null)


def description = "Defaulted value set from related issue ${relatedIssue.key}"

// Populate user picker field
getFieldByName(userFieldName)
.setFormValue((relatedCustomUserFieldValue as ApplicationUser).name)
.setDescription(description)
