ScriptRunner - failed script setting a Group picker field from another custom field

Cary Watkins

I am trying to use the below script to pull the value from one field and apply it to a single Group picker. I have seen this script in another discussion and it worked for them, but I am not sure why it is not working for me. I would like to add this script as a listener for whenever the ticket is updated. Is there any way to make the listener only trigger when a specific custom field is updated? Below is the script that is failing for me:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
def assignGroupField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Test Group")

def assignedGroupValue = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10601")
def assignableGroup = groupManager.getGroup(assignedGroupValue) //jira group
issue.setCustomFieldValue(assignGroupField, assignableGroup)

In this instance, Custom Field 10601 is where the value is currently. This is an Insight Custom field. I need to take the text from that field, and apply it as a group in the field called "Test Group".

As part of this script, is there any way to add a component that manipulates the text before it adds it to Test Group? I was wondering if I could use the 'substringBefore' function to only utilize part of the text?

Hello Cary!

I do see a few problems in your script. First, since you're trying to use a listener you have to access the value a bit different that in other types of scripts by using 'event.issue'. Also, you'll need to update the custom field value in a different manner than what you're doing. I've written out an example script that should work, though I haven't tested this using an Insight custom field. If you have problems due to the Insight field I'd recommend adding some logging statements to the script to see exactly what 'asssinedGroupValue' is getting set to to see if you need to gather the value differently.

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def issue = event.issue as Issue
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def assignGroupField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == "Test Group"}
def assignedGroupValue = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10601")
def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()
assignGroupField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(assignGroupField), assignedGroupValue),changeHolder)

Let me know your results or if you have any other questions.

Regards,

Hi Jenna,

Thank you for the response. I am getting the below errors when I run the listener. Thoughts?

Like I said, I haven't tried this out with an Insight custom field - it's possible that is causing a problem here. Could you try adding in some logging around that field just to see what you're returning from it?

Something like

log.debug("assignedGroupValue: ${assignedGroupValue}")

should work. You can check the listener's execution information (under the 'logs' tab) to see the output after rerunning the script.

Hi Jenna,

I added that line item to my script but did not see anything new in the log. Maybe I am doing something wrong?

If it makes any difference, I replaced the Insight Custom Field (10601) with a text field (10602) but received the same error message. Maybe its not related to retrieving the value but when applying it? Below is the latest, please let me know if I missed anything to make the log more useful - apologies I am very new to this and still learning basics.

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import org.apache.log4j.Logger


def issue = event.issue as Issue
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def assignGroupField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == "Test Group"}
def assignedGroupValue = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10602")
def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()

log.debug("assignedGroupValue: ${assignedGroupValue}")
assignGroupField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(assignGroupField), assignedGroupValue),changeHolder)
