ScriptRunner - Set a flag for overdue issues in Server

[Pawel]

Hi,

I'd like to use ScriptRunner's Jobs to set a flag for overdue issues in Server.

How can I do that?

Thanks,

Paul

Hello @Pawel 

By Flag, what do you envision? How are you going to consume that flag?

If it only to query all the overdue issues, cant we query it with JQL itself?

Basically am trying to understand the usecase to give you an appropriate solution :)

Hi Fazila,

When you right-click on an issue you have an option to "Add flag" which makes the issue's box red-ish.

The point is to have a Job in ScriptRunner running overnight, picking up overdue issues (duedate < startofday()) issues defined by JQL and flagged them.

I'm looking for a ScriptRunner's script to put into SR's Job.

Thanks,
Paul

Ah ok.. Got the use case :)

Setting the flag actually sets the value 'Impediment' to the field 'Flagged'.

In you groovy code, you can update the ticket's flagged value to Impediment to achieve this.
