How can I get currentuser with scriptrunner in jira cloud?

[Kedar Kanel]

I want to get the current user using scriptrunner in jira cloud. I want to add in currentuser name in the comment of an issue. But I couldnot figure out how to do so with scriptrunner in jira cloud. I did try

• currentUser, 
• executionUser.displayName
• currentUser?.displayName
• event.user.displayName

But didnot have any luck with them. 

Can someone please help?

This is a 7 year old post, if my time math is correct, but you may give the solution here a try while waiting on Addaptivist

Hi, @Kedar Kanel 👋 

I moved your post here, to App Central. This is a better place for this.

That said, you may get to a faster resolution by reaching out to the scriptrunner support team directly:

@Kedar Kanel , @Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM is absolutely right..

When you run the listener/script - use Current User. If you use SR add-on, then it will show as SR add-on.....

so try:

def response = get('/rest/api/3/myself')
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.asObject(Map)
assert response.status == 200

def currentUsername = response.body.displayName 

 then use ${currentUsername} in the comment.
