Groovy: Cannot set value to "Version Picker" custom field

[Georgiy Senenkov]

Hello,

In our JIRA5 setup we set "Resolved" "Version Picker" custom field. I need to set "Resolved" custom field for all existing issues. And here is the fragment of groovy script which should do this

ComponentManager componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance()
IssueManager issueManager = componentManager.getIssueManager()

def optionsManager = ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(OptionsManager.class)
def customFieldManager = componentManager.getCustomFieldManager()
def cfResolved = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Resolved")

Issue issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("PROG-1234")
def fieldResolved = cfResolved.getRelevantConfig(issue)


System.out.println("Previous Resolved On is : " + issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfResolved));

def optionResolved = optionsManager.getOptions(fieldResolved).find {it.value == "2011"}
parent.setCustomFieldValue(cfResolved, optionResolved)
System.out.println("Current Resolved On is : " + issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfResolved));

The Resolved custom field was not updated in the bug. The last println return correct "2011" value even it's not set for the bug.
In setCustomFieldValue documentation I found that
"Sets a custom field value on this Issue Object, but does not write it to the database. This is highly misleading. "

Could you please advise what method can I use in order to modify custom field value?

Thank you.

Cheers, Georgiy

You could use code like this to set a custom field:

MutableIssue issue
CustomField cf
def newValue

def currentValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)
def mValue = new ModifiedValue(currentValue, newValue)
def iChangeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()
cf.updateValue(null, issue, mValue, iChangeHolder)

// Maybe the following is not needed for 5.x

boolean wasIndexing = ImportUtils.isIndexIssues()
// be sure indexing is on
ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(true)
issueIndexManager.reIndex(issue)
ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(wasIndexing)

newValue has to be the same class as the result of getCustomFieldValue (here Option).

Thank you!

I made it as you advised, i.e.

def newValue = issue.getFixVersions()
def currentValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfResolved)
def mValue = new ModifiedValue(currentValue, newValue)
def iChangeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()
cfResolved.updateValue(null, issue, mValue, iChangeHolder)

boolean wasIndexing = ImportUtils.isIndexIssues()
// be sure indexing is on
ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(true)
issueIndexManager.reIndex(issue)
ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(wasIndexing)

System.out.println("Current Resolved On is : " + issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfResolved));

and Resolved custom field contain the fix Version, but last println still shows previous currentValue. it's minor misbehavious but log contains wrong information then.

Do you know how I can get right logs, please?

you have to get the issue object again, e.g. by issueManager.getIssueObject(issue.id). I think it's a good idea to do this before the reindex takes place, after the updateValue()

Thank you!

I had to get the issue object , and create new variable again after reindexing

boolean wasIndexing = ImportUtils.isIndexIssues()
ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(true)
issueIndexManager.reIndex(issue)
ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(wasIndexing)

// added only for the proper log
Issue issueObjForLog = issueManager.getIssueObject(issueId)
System.out.println("Current Resolved On is : " + issueObjForLog.getCustomFieldValue(cfResolved));
