Automatically update the priority of an issue based on the value urgency and impact.

[Ad Smeets]

Hi,

I found alot of information already but i can not get things to work. What I am trying to achieve is that when the Urgency of impact is changed, the priority is seat to the proper value. When a user saves the issue, priority should be stored as well.

I created a scripted field and I can show the desired values in this field. And it behaves exactly how I want it to behave. Next step is to check if I can update the priority as well just as described. When this works the scripted field will be hidden for regular users.

I am aware that I can use a post script as well, but this is not always going to update the priority just like the standaard automation in JIRA servicedesk. So that always can cause wrong interpretations.

The code I am using is shown below. Am I missing something? Is it possible?

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParametersImpl
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

// This is a two dimensional map to represent the matrix
// Keys along left is urgency and second dimension keys is the impact
def priorityMatrix = [
    Cosmetisch: ["0..1 Gebruikers": "5", "2..5 Gebruikers": "5", "5+ Gebruikers": "4"],
    Hinderlijk: ["0..1 Gebruikers": "5", "2..5 Gebruikers": "4", "5+ Gebruikers": "3"],
    Blokkerend: ["0..1 Gebruikers": "4", "2..5 Gebruikers": "3", "5+ Gebruikers": "7"],
]
 
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def constantsManager = ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager()
def issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService()
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser()
 
//def issue = issue as Issue
 
def urgencyField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Urgency")
 
def impactField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Impact")
 
def urgency = issue.getCustomFieldValue(urgencyField) as Option
def impact = issue.getCustomFieldValue(impactField) as Option
 
String priorityName = priorityMatrix[urgency.value][impact.value]
String issuetype = issue.issueTypeObject.name
def MutableIssue mutableIssue = (MutableIssue) issue
if (issuetype == "Incident") {
    
    return priorityName
    mutableIssue.setPriorityId(priorityName)
 
}

Hi,

You can try to call the store() method after setting the priority, but it's recommended to use the issueservice as described here:

Hope it helps

i think that you need to move the return statment to the bottom of the code too

Thanks, I will look into that.

Meanwhile i will post this question tot the proper forum (adaptavist).
