Using ScriptRunner Post Function to set issue Due Date based on custom field

[Andrew Zbikowski]

I'm totally new to ScriptRunner and Groovy. I'm trying to automatically set an issue's Due Date based on a custom field. My Groovy script is set as a post function that runs on Issue Create in the workflow.

So far I've come up with the following based on a previous question from 2013. My script runs, I get the expected results in the log file, but the Due Date on the issue isn't actually set.

Log entries: 

2017-01-27 17:31:18,905 http-nio-127.0.0.1-8080-exec-25 WARN username 1051x82316x1 5n1r8 12.31.137.4:25256,127.0.0.1 /secure/QuickCreateIssue.jspa [c.o.s.jira.workflow.ScriptWorkflowFunction] ASZ Timeline Value: 1 - Immediately
2017-01-27 17:31:18,952 http-nio-127.0.0.1-8080-exec-25 WARN username 1051x82316x1 5n1r8 12.31.137.4:25256,127.0.0.1 /secure/QuickCreateIssue.jspa [c.o.s.jira.workflow.ScriptWorkflowFunction] ASZ SetDueDate dueTimestamp is:2017-01-30 17:31:18.936

I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but I've been teaching myself some Groovy and trying to get this to work all afternoon. Hopefully someone who knows JIRA/Groovy better than I do spots what I'm missing.

Thanks!

def dueTimestamp = new Timestamp(MyDueDate.getTimeInMillis())
myIssue.setDueDate(dueTimestamp);
log.warn ("ASZ SetDueDate dueTimestamp is:" + dueTimestamp)

Well figured it out: Add Store updates to the post functions in the workflow. Script was working exactly as expected!

I would remove the store, and just move the post-function to the top of the list.

Trying to Automatically assign a due date to all created ticket excluding weeks.

I tried this script but giving me an error for the first 3 lines
unable to resolve class com.atlassian.jira.component.componentaccessor

Im using Script runner cloud and just want to make sure all created tickets are automatically set for 5 days not including weekends.

im not using the custom field im try to change the due date already integrated

```

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import java.sql.Timestamp;
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cfTimeline = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Due Date")
def cfTimelineValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfTimeline).toString()
// Days in the future when the issue is due. 
int DueInDays = 5
log.warn ("ASZ Timeline Value: "+ cfTimelineValue )
MutableIssue myIssue = issue;
// Set the number of days. 
switch (cfTimelineValue) {
case "1 - Immediately": DueInDays = 1; break;
case "2 - Today": DueInDays = 2; break;
case "3 - Business Week": DueInDays = 5; break;
case "4 - 30 Days": DueInDays = 30; break;
default: DueInDays = 5; break;
}
// Make sure the due date doesn't fall on a weekend. 
Date today = new Date();
Calendar MyDueDate = Calendar.getInstance();
MyDueDate.add(Calendar.DATE,DueInDays)
while ([Calendar.SATURDAY, Calendar.SUNDAY].contains(MyDueDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK))) {
MyDueDate.add(Calendar.DATE,1)
