create custom scripted field in scriptrunner

[Samar Elsayed]

Hi,

I need to get the groups that the logged in user belongs to and make these groups appear as options in a multi choice custom field.

below is the code that gets the groups :

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level


def logg = Logger.getLogger("")
logg.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)

def user = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.groupManager

def group
def g_group
//def userManager = ComponentAccessor.userManager
//def userUtil = ComponentAccessor.userUtil
//

def groupsval = ComponentAccessor.groupManager.getGroupNamesForUser(user) as List

//return groupsval
for(int k=0; k<groupsval.size(); k++) {
group = groupsval.get(k)
// g_group = groupManager.getGroupObject(group)

return group

}

How can I do that in script runner ?

 I tried to create a multi group picker scripted field with multi group picker searcher but it gives me empty result as shown below :

Hi @Samar Elsayed ,

I have modified your snippet a bit, could you try this one : 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level


def logg = Logger.getLogger("")
logg.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)

def user = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser

def groupsval = ComponentAccessor.groupManager.getGroupsForUser(user)
return groupsval

Hi @Antoine Berry ,

I have tried that already but it still gives me :

, , , , , , , , , , , ,

I have tried to use a custom template instead of group picker :

but it gives me the whole list when I use only 

return groupsval

 as below :

and when I use the for loop for the list, I get the first element only :

@Antoine Berry  do you know how can I get all the groups to appear as options not just one?

Hi @Samar Elsayed ,

This is my configuration : 

Using my script above, this is the output on the view screen of an issue : 

As you can see this is working correctly. Please remember that a script field only calculates values, but does not provide a list of option (meaning that it will only be available on view screen).

If you want the user to select a group among the user groups, you would need to create a group picker, and update options with a behaviour script.

@Antoine Berry thank you. can you please give me an example about how to do that in 

a behaviour ?

Hi @Samar Elsayed ,

Actually using a group picker field, I think you could only auto-select the user's groups, but not restrict its values.

You could restrict the values of a regular select list, but this would mean having all the groups as options in the field configuration (= a lot of maintenance).

Alternatively you could throw an error if the group selected is not one of the current user's.
