Custom field updated by script listener gives wrong query results

[Nadav Eckstein]

Hi,

I would very much appreciate your help with something since it's been bothering me for a while.

I have created a custom field (single select list) and created a script listener that updates this field every time the assignee field changes.

It works well, but for some reason, once in a while a query on this field will give incorrect results. For example, I can run this query: field="Option 1"

While "field" is the custom field name and "Option 1" is one of the possible options.

Most of the issues that will answer this query will be correct, but once in a while I might find there an issue with field="Option 2", although it shouldn't be there.

Does anybody have an idea why is this happening?

Thanks!

It sounds like the index is not being updated properly in every case.

How is the listener writing back to the issue?

Hi Nic,

Thanks for the quick response.

This is how I update the field in the listener:

def value = ComponentAccessor.optionsManager.getOptions(cfConfig)?.find {
it.toString() == new_value
}
tgtField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(tgtField), value),changeHolder)

new_value is just a string.
