How to change project category through script console?

[Marat]

I am trying to mass transfer projects from one category to another.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectCategory
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager

def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager()
String[] projectList = projectManager.getProjectObjectsFromProjectCategory(10300)
def i
for (i = 0; i <= projectList.length; i++){
 projectManager.setProjectCategory(projectList[i].minus('Project: '), 'Close')
}

No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.project.CachingProjectManager.setProjectCategory() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String, java.lang.String) values: [PFO, Close] Possible solutions: setProjectCategory(com.atlassian.jira.project.Project, com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectCategory), getProjectCategory(java.lang.Long), createProjectCategory(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

By defining your projectList as String[] ... you are hamstringing yourself. Just get them as objects. 

Then you also need to get the object for the target new category.

And finally ... this is groovy ... leverage it for simplicity

Try this

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.projectManager
def projectList = projectManager.getProjectObjectsFromProjectCategory(10300)
def newCat = projectManager.getProjectCategoryObjectByName('Close')
projectList.each{
    projectManager.setProjectCategory(it,newCat )
}

Try this in the console:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.parameters.annotation.ShortTextInput

@ShortTextInput(description = "List of project Keys separated by commas", label = "Project Key List")
String projectListString

@ShortTextInput(description = '', label = "New Category")
String categoryName

def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.projectManager
def projectList = projectListString.tokenize(' ,').findResults { pkey ->
   projectManager.getProjectByCurrentKey(pkey)
}
def newCat = projectManager.getProjectCategoryObjectByName(categoryName)
if (!newCat) {
   return "There is no category by the name $categoryName. Manually assign that category to one project from the project settings first, then come back here to bulk-update more projects."
}
projectList.each {
   projectManager.setProjectCategory(it, newCat)
}

The point of the script I wrote was to give you a simple tool to use in the console.

This is what it is supposed to look like:
