Add labels using script runner Cloud

[K Vivek Rao]

Hi I am learning script runner.

As a beginner my use case is, In jira cloud when issue moves to inprogress state i want to add label to the issue as "Test"

Guide me with steps to achieve the same.

Here is the code that will work for script runner cloud

Issues.getByKey(issue.key as String).update{
setLabels{
add("TestLabel")
}
}

Hello @K Vivek Rao ,
Since you said, CLOUD + Scriptrunner, here's the snippet for it:

List labels = issue.fields.labels ?: [] // get the labels for the current issue
labels += "newLabel"
issueInput.fields.labels = labels

Alternatively, you can use JIRA Automation to perform the actions.

Tip: While adding a labels, add to existing labels, else one may replace all with new.

Thank you @Piyush Annadate _ACE Pune_  for your input, but i am getting the error as attached. I am configuring it as a part of post-function on In Progress transition.

If issue is moved to In progress state, a label "test" should be added under lables, it should append not replacing.

Hi,
With post function, you can just added as below:

issueInput.update.labels = [[set: ["example"]]] // to set just the value.

Else

List<String> labels = Issues.getByKey(issue.key).getLabels()?.collect { it.label } ?: [] // get the labels for the current issue

labels += "updateLabel"

issueInput.fields.labels = labels

With error, save and test.

If you prefer a no-code solution, Jira Automation can achieve the same result. Follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create a New Automation Rule:

   • Go to the project settings and navigate to Automation.

   • Click on "Create Rule."

2. Set the Trigger:

   • Select the "Issue Transitioned" trigger.

   • Configure the trigger to fire when the issue transitions to the "In Progress" state.

3. Add a Condition (Optional):

   • If needed, add a condition to ensure the rule only applies to specific issues or projects.

4. Add an Action:

   • Select the "Edit Issue" action.

   • In the "Fields to Set" section, choose "Labels."

   • Add the label "Test" to the field. If other labels exist, ensure they are preserved by appending "Test" rather than overwriting the field.

5. Save and Enable the Rule:

   • Review the rule configuration.

   • Save and enable the rule.

6. Test the Automation:

   • Transition an issue to the "In Progress" state and verify that the "Test" label is added automatically.
