Get email addrees from directory

[Yonatan Leket]

I'm trying to create a new project consisting all employees information.

there is information that found in the directory , and I need it too.

I am trying to write a groovy script that will get the email of a user given the specified username (User picker custom_filed ) . 

But I don't know how to get the email that found in the user profile.

Hello @Yonatan Leket

It should be like this

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Username").first()
def user = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)
def email = user.getEmailAddress()

Where you write your script? Is it postfunction or behaviour?

HI @Mark Markov,

I am trying to write a postfunction (scriptrunner Custom Script Field) , 

my goal is to get username's email after issue has been created,  

This filed will be shown in View issue screen .

in case you think is better to do it in behaviour just let me know .

Thanks!!

If i ve got you right. You need a script field that will be display email of user in Username field?

If i do, go to script fields, create one, place on view screens and place this script in.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Username").first()
def user = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)
def email = user.getEmailAddress()
return email

Yes, I need script field that will be display email of user in Username field.

Do you know what can be the reason for this Error? see attached

This is static type checking error. You can ignore it. This is happens because compiler doesnt know return type of getCustomField method. But in runtime it will work, just check!:)

Indeed! all works as expected.

Tnx @Mark Markov!
