Setting System Field Defaults Not Loading - Scriptrunner Behaviours

[Ryot]

So i'm trying to follow the prebuilt script for setting a system field defaults thats included in the adaptavist knowledge base (original located here). I'm trying to set the component, so I removed the Affects Versions and Assignee portion.

I've got it set up in the initializer and it seems to be giving me the green light, but nothing is being selected when I create an issue. Here's the exact script I'm using.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.*

if (getActionName() != "Create Issue") {
 return 
}


def projectComponentManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectComponentManager()
def components = projectComponentManager.findAllForProject(issueContext.projectObject.id) 
getFieldById(COMPONENTS).setFormValue(components.findAll { it.name in ["test1"] }*.id) 

Note that I'm very new to scriptrunner and the JIRA API components so it could be something super simple I'm missing.

I did confirm the component exists with correct spelling as well.

Here's the screenshot of the setup, too.

Hello @Ryot

Try to use this

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.*

if (getAction().id == 1) {
    def projectComponentManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectComponentManager()
    def components = projectComponentManager.findAllForProject(issueContext.projectObject.id)
    getFieldById(COMPONENTS).setFormValue(components.findAll { it.name in ["test1"] }*.id)
}

I ended up going with a feature  used in the JIRA Automations Lite add-on to complete this in a simpler way, but looks like a quick test shows marks stuff should work too!

Hi @Ryot I'm playing with JIRA Automations Lite to do this and the only trigger I can find is "Issue created".. but that will change the field after the issue is already filled out.

Did you figure out how to pre-populate the Description or any system field so that it appears when the window to create an issue appears?
