Compare user value for 2 user picker fields

[m]

Is it possible to compare 2 user values for 2 different user picker custome fields and to block a transition based on this being true?

[m · Accepted solution]

cfValues['User picker field1'] != cfValues['User picker field2']

That worked thanks! Not sure why it was not working before when I tried it.

did you tried like this?

cfValues['User picker field1']?.name== cfValues['User picker field2]?.name

the following code we are using in our plugin, you have to conver it to groovy

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User;
 
CustomFieldManager cfm = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
CustomField cfField1 = cfm.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Field1");
CustomField cfField2 = cfm.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Field2");
User user1 = (User) issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfField1);
User user2 = (User)issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfField2);
 
 
if(user1 !== null && user2 !=null){
	if((user1.getName()).equal(user2.getName())){
		s.o.p("both field values are equal")
	}

}

is those custom fields are sing user picker or multiuser picker?

[m]

Yes but gives false result. also tried with *.value and only .value

All of these provide the same problem.

[m]

single user

i have update my answer check that, i think we have to use cfValues['User picker field1']?.name to get user name from user picker custom field

Not quite sure what you mean by convert it to Groovy

[RambanamP]

what i gave code is used on our java plugin but you are executing this on groovy script runner so that's why i said to convert to groovy!

i don't have much knowledge on groovy but i think it is almost same, you can try as it is on my answer!!

cfValues['User picker field1'] != cfValues['User picker field2']

should be sufficient. If that doesn't work they aren't equal, or they are different types. Use admin -> built-in scripts -> condition tester.
