Set Project Lead with Script Runner

[Deleted user]

Hello,

I trying write code in groovy script runner to create project from post function level in JIRA. Everything going well, but i can't find any solution to change Project Lead for project. I saw that possible is change default assignee, but i can't find any information about Project Lead. Meybe anyone found solution for this. I just need example for specific function. I will be very grateful for help!

You need to use updateProject from ProjectManager class

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.2.0/com/atlassian/jira/project/ProjectManager.html

Big thanks! This is it what i need. I just have problems with implementing this method:

[Static type checking] - Cannot find matching method com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager#updateProject(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object). Please check if the declared type is right and if the method exists. 

Do you have any idea?

simple example:

import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager

def originalproject = "TESTOR"
def name = "AAA"
def decsription = "test"
def leadkey = "102205"
def assigneeType = "Unassigned"

ProjectManager.updateProject(Project originalProject,Long name,String description,String leadKey,String url,Long assigneeType)

return:

The script could not be compiled:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
Script808.groovy: 10: The current scope already contains a variable of the name name
 @ line 10, column 59.
   (Project originalProject,Long name,Strin
                                 ^

Script808.groovy: 10: The current scope already contains a variable of the name assigneeType
 @ line 10, column 114.
   tring leadKey,String url,Long assigneeTy
                                 ^

If i comment name and assigneetype i got: Cannot find matching mathod

I did not check the code by it must be like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager

import com.atlassian.jira.project.AssigneeTypes

def originalproject = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager().getPrjectObjByKey("TESTOR")
def name = "AAA"
def decsription = "test"
def leadkey = "username"
def assigneeType = "Unassigned"

ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager().updateProject(originalProject name,description,leadKey, url, AssigneeTypes.UNASSIGNED)

You should provide respect paramteres types.

Thanks! I still learning of groovy. I see that you have small mistake in def of original project. Should be "getProjectManager()" and must have:
"import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor" and "," before name in last line. Anyway. I used a code:

import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager
import com.atlassian.jira.project.AssigneeTypes
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def originalproject = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager().getProjectObjByKey("TESTOR")
def name = "AAA"
def decsription = "test"
def leadkey = "102205" // this is username in my JIRA instance
def assigneeType = "Unassigned"

ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager().updateProject(originalProject,name,description,leadKey,url,assigneeType.UNASSIGNED)

and after run i have:
groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: originalProject for class: Script879
at Script879.run(Script879.groovy:12)

Compiler said:

any idea? 

[Alexey Matveev]

Yes, the name of variable are different from declaration and passing the the procedure. 

import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager
import com.atlassian.jira.project.AssigneeTypes
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def originalproject = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager().getProjectObjByKey("TESTOR")
def name = "AAA"
def description = "test"
def leadkey = "102205" // this is username in my JIRA instance
def url = "http://google.com"

ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager().updateProject(originalproject,name,description,leadkey,url,assigneeType.UNASSIGNED)

[Deleted user]

Ok. Foolishly mistakes in declaration... When i trying to use your code i have this:

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: assigneeType for class: Script885 at Script885.run(Script885.groovy:12)

so I change last line like this:

def assigneeType = "102205" as long

ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager().updateProject(originalproject,name,description,leadkey,url,assigneeType)

and Script working but in project i can see "Please select a Default Assignee". It looks that this method have problem with long "Unassigned"? Do you know something about this?

import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager
import com.atlassian.jira.project.AssigneeTypes
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def originalproject = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager().getProjectObjByKey("TESTOR")
def name = "AAA"
def description = "test"
def leadkey = "102205" // this is username in my JIRA instance
def url = "http://google.com"

ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager().updateProject(originalproject,name,description,leadkey,url,AssigneeTypes.UNASSIGNED)

Thank you very much!

I'm sorry to revive this thread, but I have a problem to set the lead.
In my case this is entered as text, but not as recognized user (AD). I have already tried different spelling variants.

What is the solution here?

Hi Tom,

You might need to enter the userid instead of username.
