Autocompletion today's date in transition (Scriptruner)

[Boris Demain]

Hi !

I want to autocomplete a date customfield with the today's date during a screen transition if it's empty.

I wrote this script in a behavior which select field and transition :

def champDateLivre = getFieldById( "customfield_10400" )

def dateDuJour = new Date()

dateDuJour = dateDuJour.format( "d/MMM/yy" )

def valeurInitiale = getFieldById( "customfield_10400" ).value

if ( valeurInitiale == "" )
{ champDateLivre.setFormValue(dateDuJour)
}

I get the date in the customfield BUT when I validate the transition I get error message : "Format de date non valide. Veuillez saisir la date au format 'd/MMM/yy'"
= Invalide date format. Please use format dat 'd/MMM/yy'

Is that one iI use and I verified configuration jira.date.picker.java.format : is the same...

Can someone help me ?

Thanks

Hi

Have you tried to enable log and check if your dateDuJour variable has required format?

Something like this:

import org.apache.log4j.Category
...
log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.INFO)
log.info("start info logging");
log.info(dateDuJour);

Thanks for your answer but I don't know how does it work...

Sry I'm not a developper

Put in your code these rows, then run your postfunction and check log to see result

import org.apache.log4j.Category

log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.INFO)
log.info("start info logging");
log.info(dateDuJour);

I tried but it's not a postfunction...

I'm in behavior, in field that I want, in "server-side script"

[fjodors]

Here is a example with logging I have performed. Using similar code you can check all your variables from logs

1. enabke logging for behavior

2. Create behavior with server-side script

3. check atlassian-jira.log for entries

Hi,

I got logs :

2019-06-20 09:07:31,489 [...] /rest/scriptrunner/behaviours/latest/runvalidator.json [c.o.j.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours] start info logging
2019-06-20 09:07:31,489 [...] /rest/scriptrunner/behaviours/latest/runvalidator.json [c.o.j.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours] values of dateDuJour variable is --->20/Jun/19
2019-06-20 09:07:31,489 [...] /rest/scriptrunner/behaviours/latest/runvalidator.json [c.o.j.groovy.user.FormField] Error converting string '20/Jun/19' to date using format: d/MMM/yy

It's like the date is good but Jira can't got it like a date...
