Updating Customfield type Checkboxes through Scriptrunner

[Will C]

Hi there,

I am trying to update a custom field called Urgent based on another calculation, my script works fine until I try to update the custom field on the issue. It just doesn't seem to set this correctly.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import java.util.Date.*
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser;
import com.atlassian.jira.security.JiraAuthenticationContext;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import java.sql.Timestamp
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit 
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager
 
def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(OptionsManager)
IssueManager issueMgr = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
CustomFieldManager fieldmgr = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
def issue = issueMgr.getIssueObject("IssueKey")

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
def dateFieldObject= customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_11202');

 def datenow = new Date()
 def issduedate = issue.getDueDate()
 def calculation = (issduedate - datenow)
 def cfurgent = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_13700")//checkBox
 def fieldConfig = cfurgent.getRelevantConfig(issue)
 def option = optionsManager.getOptions(fieldConfig).getOptionForValue("Urgent", null)

 if (calculation < 90) 
 {issue.setCustomFieldValue(cfurgent, option)}
 else
 {return 'no'}
issue.store()  

I am running this from the console hence calling  getissueobject, if I comment out after the if it gives me "urgent" so it is finding this option, urgent is the only option on this field.

but this line doesn't seem to set it 

{issue.setCustomFieldValue(cfurgent, option)}

ultimately this will go on a workflow transition but I would like to get it working in the console first, any ideas what I'm doing wrong, I have read lots of posts before about this but can't get it working.

Hello!

Checkbox fields have to be handled a bit differently. Here's an example script of how to set the values in a checkbox field:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor 
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.optionsManager
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager 
def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("issue_key") 
def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("checkbox_name")[0]
def fieldConfig = customField.getRelevantConfig(issue) 
def options = optionsManager.getOptions(fieldConfig)
def optionsToSet = options.findAll { it.value in ["option_name1", "option_name2", "etc"] } 
issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField, optionsToSet)

Hopefully this helps you out, please let me know if you have any other questions. :)

@Jenna Davis Is there a way to do this using JMWE?  I'm trying to use the configure field option as a post function on a workflow when an issue is transitioned into a specific status.

I responded to that question on: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Check-a-Box-with-a-Postfunction/qaq-p/1443274

Hi @Jenna Davis , 

Have you ever done this for Cloud?

[Daniel Alonso]

I found how to do it:

issueInput.fields.customfield_10097 = [[value: '1'],[value:'2'],[value:'3'],[value:'4']]

[Nicolas Yuste Tirados]

This only works for a Post Function. How would you do it within a Listener?

@Jenna Davis This solution is not working anymore, can you check?
