Modify custom field with script.

[Tim S.]

 Hi,

 I try to modify a customField during it's creation in the workflow by a post function

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.security.groups.GroupManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder

GroupManager groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
def groups = groupManager.getGroupNamesForUser(currentUser)
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cf= customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.getName() == "Field Name"}

if (! accessGroups)
{
  groups.each
  {
    if( it.startsWith("jira") )
    {
      issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf, it)
    }
  }
}
return true

but it doesn't work.

In the script console I tested

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.security.groups.GroupManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
 
//get issue by key
Issue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("ASWTK-50")
//get current user
ApplicationUser currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser()
 
GroupManager groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
def groups = groupManager.getGroupNamesForUser(currentUser)
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_12703")
 
log.warn(customField.getValue(issue))

if (! customField)
{
  log.warn("Field found")
  groups.each
  {
    if( it.startsWith("jira-users") )
    {
      log.warn(it)
      issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField, it)
      log.warn(customField.getValue(issue))
    }
  }
}
 
log.warn(customField.getValue(issue))
 
return true

 But it doesn't get into the first if.

The Output of the warn is empty if the customField-Value is empty and [com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.impl.ImmutableGroup@976d6f29] if I fill it with a Group. BTW. the field is a GroupSelector-Field.

Do you use this code into postfunction or you create your own plugin?

ALso you can test code via ScriptConsole provided by ScriptRunner plugin.

I use it in workflow postfunction.

For the ScriptConsole I don't know how to get the issue and the current User

[Vasiliy Zverev]

Here it is

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

//get issue by key
Issue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("ZVER-3")

//get current user
ApplicationUser curUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser()

Thanks. I updated the main post.
