Scriptrunner: behaviours update field content

Question

Dears,

I am using scriptunner behaviors to update the value of a field, but this new value is not showing.

The fieldtypes I am trying to update are:

* User Picker (multiple users)
* Insight Object (single select)

What I am trying is: a.setFormValue("AS-9573")

Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Kind regards,

Matt

Hi Joshua and Johnny,

Thank you for your reply.

What I am trying is to update the approver field with the n+1 of the reporter. The n+1 is stored in Riada Insight.

I used behaviors because this is the only way to trigger on an update field. And indeed on the customer front-end this is not working (JSD). Still it would be useful in Jira.

This is the test-code I have used (not really esthetic in functional correct):

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;

def a = getFieldByName("Approver")
def b = getFieldByName("Approvers")
def c = getFieldById("SUMMARY")

@ "+a.getValue())
@ "+b.getValue())
@ "+c.getValue())
c.setFormValue("AS-9573")
a.setFormValue("AS-9573")

@ New"+a.getValue())

Jira version: 7.5.0

JSD version: 3.8.2

Scriptrunner: 5.1.6

Kind regards,

Matt

Just as a side note, I haven't quite determined if it's possible to set a custom field from the Insight plugin via Behaviours. I can tell that setting the form value to what looks like the object's unique ID (which seems to be what you're doing with field.setFormValue("AS-9573")) doesn't work.

If you can answer Josh's questions (above) and provide some more detail on what you're trying to do as well as your Insight object configuration, we may be able to assist further.

You may also want to consult our guide on Scripting other plugins at https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/scripting-other-plugins.html, as well as Riada's Java API: https://insight-javadoc.riada.se/insight-javadoc-4.0/

Also a good point from Josh: Behaviours aren't yet compatible with JIRA Service Desk screens, which may be why you aren't seeing the changes reflected. If you're editing the issue on Jira's normal Create/Edit screens, they should work, though.
