Jira Cloud, updating custom field using add post function

[Igor Koposov]

Hi, everyone!

I need to update a customfield (Version Picker, id - 10049) using post function "Update Issue Custom Field" and set there "earliestUnreleasedVersion()", when somebody transit issue from one status to another.

How can I do this? Should I use REST API? Or is there easier solution?

Thanks!

Hello Igor,

As you can see on this answer, you can use the plugin Script Runner and configure the following Script to get this functionality:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def versionManager = ComponentAccessor.getVersionManager()
def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager()
def project = projectManager.getProjectObjByKey("JRA")

def versions = versionManager.getVersions(project)

versions.sort {it.releaseDate}.reverse().find{! it.released}

 Please, let me know if it works for you.

Sorry, we don't have Script Runner yet :(

Is this the only solution?

Hello Igor,

Unfortunately, that was the only solution I was able to find to achieving it.

Maybe there are other possible workarounds for this using other plugins, but not natively on JIRA.

But, how should work this feature?

Hello Igor,

The post function Update Issue Custom Field works well to update a field with a specific value, the current user (When talking about user picker fields) and current date/time (When talking about Date/time fields), however, it does not have a macro to specifically set the earliest Unreleased Version to a field.

ok, thanks!

You are welcome, Igor.

Have a nice week!
