Scriptrunner script to Append Description with contents of custom text field

[Stephen Letch]

Hi

I've Googled all over and the closest I've gotten is

package UpdateIssue
 
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
 
CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
 
issue.setDescription(customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Affected Users").getValue(issue).toString() + "/" + customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Implementation Details").getValue(issue).toString())

However this replaces the Description text instead of adding to it.

I'm trying to add some custom field contents to the Description on a post function, so that when the Jira Service Desk approver email is sent to an approver, it includes all of the details in the Change Request.

I essentially want:

-----------------

Original Text in the description

Name of Custom field 1:

Contents of custom field 1

Name of custom field 2:

Contents of custom field 2

------------------

and so on.

Hello @Stephen Letch

Why don't you first save the current description in a variable using

def description = issue.description

and then in issue.setDescription you can append the custom field values to the above variable "description" which is holding the current value of description.

Can you provide an example? I'm not a coder so am having to pull examples from where I can to make this work.

Thanks
