Scriptrunner Listener: The logs show an update, but the field does not show the value

Alexander B__x4wi46

Hi all,

are you able to help me?

I have written a script for a listener. It is supposed to update a custom-field of an epic with the values from the linked stories.

The log shows me that the value has been calculated and updated:
... WARN [runner.ScriptBindingsManager]: setCustomFieldValue called with updateField: ABC, total: 468
... WARN [runner.ScriptBindingsManager]: Updating custom field with id customfield_123 for issue 456

But when I call Epic with the field and update it, the value is not displayed. What is going wrong?

Cheers,

Alexander

Sure. Here it is:

import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink

// the ID of the custom field to sum

final sumFieldId = 10002

// the ID of the custom field to update

final updateFieldId = 14304

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def sumField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(sumFieldId)

//def updateField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Fieldname")

// Use getCustomFieldObjectsByName() to get a list of all custom fields with the specified name

def customFields = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Fieldname")

// Use the find method to get the custom field with the specified name and ID

// def updateField = customFields.find { it.name == "Fieldname" && it.id == updateFieldId }

def updateField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(updateFieldId)

def issueEvent = event as IssueEvent

def issue = issueEvent.issue as MutableIssue

// Use getCustomFieldObjectsByName() to get a list of all custom fields with the specified name

def epicLinkFields = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Epic Link")

// If there are any custom fields with the specified name, use the first one

def epicLinkField = epicLinkFields?.find { it.name == "Epic Link" }

// Get the value of the Epic Link custom field

def epicLink = issue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLinkField)

// If the issue has an epic linked to it, use that as the target issue.

// Otherwise, use the current issue as the target.

def targetIssue = epicLink ?: issue

def links = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getOutwardLinks(targetIssue.getId())

def total = 0

for (l in links) {

// Add a typecast to specify that l is of type IssueLink

def linkedIssue = (l as IssueLink).getDestinationObject()

def value = linkedIssue.getCustomFieldValue(sumField)

if (value) {

total += value as Integer

}

// Set the value of custom field 14304 to the calculated total

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()

def mutableTargetIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(targetIssue.getId())

if (epicLinkField && updateField) {

mutableTargetIssue.setCustomFieldValue(updateField, total.toDouble())

}

Hey @Alexander B_ ,

after setting custom field value you need to perform an updateIssue using the following api https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/8.0.1/index.html?com/atlassian/jira/issue/IssueManager.html

updateIssue

Issue updateIssue(ApplicationUser user,
                  MutableIssue issue,
                  EventDispatchOption eventDispatchOption,
                  boolean sendMail)

This method will store the provided issue to the JIRA datastore.

The issue will be saved and re-indexed unless EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH is specified. This method performs no permission checks.

This method should be used if you want to exert more control over what happens when JIRA updates an issue. This method will allow you to specify if an event is dispatched and if so which event is dispatched, see EventDispatchOption. This method also allows you to specify if email notifications should be send to notify users of the update.

Parameters:: user - who is performing the operation; issue - the issue to update; eventDispatchOption - specifies if an event should be sent and if so which should be sent.; sendMail - if true mail notifications will be sent, otherwise mail notifications will be suppressed.
Returns:: the updated issue.

Thank you, it works now. I've added this to the script:

// Update the issue after setting its custom field value

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

def eventDispatchOption = EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED

def sendMail = false

issueManager.updateIssue(user, mutableTargetIssue, eventDispatchOption, sendMail)
