Set checkbox field when using issue service to create new issue

[David Antebi]

Hi,

When creating new Epic I want to create issues in epic per checkbox values.

I also want to copy the checkbox value to the new created issues in the epic.

All working well with my script below except the copy of the checkbox.

For example:

If my checkbox field called 'domain' and I checked in the epic A, B and C values -> I want the script to create 3 new issues -> one with domain value A, second with domain value B and third with domain value C.

Thanks for your help!

Can you write out to the logs the value of the selectedOption? It might be returning null which is why it isn't being set. 

Also you're calling it.value == selectedValues[i].toString(), you could try it.value.equals(selectedValues[i].toString()).

You could also try putting the strings down to lowercase just in case the strings aren't matching exactly.

Hi @Tom _Automation Consultants_ ,

I printed the value to the logs and received the option id as string.

I think that something is wrong with the method to insert the value to checkbox field.

Thanks,

David

Hi @David Antebi ,

Maybe try passing the Option itself not the .toString() of the Option?

[David Antebi]

Hi @Tom _Automation Consultants_

The issueInputParameters.addCustomFieldValue() expect String value.

[Tom _Automation Consultants_]

I would in this case create a new Mutable Issue instead, set all the values you're current setting using the issue input parameters. Set the custom field value but pass it the option instead of the string (issue.setCustomFieldValue(field, option)). Then use the Issue Manager class to call the create issue function with your new Mutable Issue. I know it doesn't directly answer your problem with the IssueInputParameters, but it's an alternative workaround.

Add a reply if you need any help with the script doing it this way!

Hi @Tom _Automation Consultants_

Could you please help me with sample script? How to create issue in this way?

Thank you very much!

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFactory
import com.atlassian.jira.exception.CreateException

def newIssue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueFactory().getIssue()

newIssue.setProjectId(15530L)
newIssue.setIssueTypeId("6")
newIssue.setSummary("Content Task For Domain: " + selectedValues[i].toString())
newIssue.setReporterId(issue.reporterId)
newIssue.setAssigneeId("DavidAntebi")
newIssue.setDescription(issue.description)
newIssue.setCustomFieldValue(epicLinkField, issue.key)
newIssue.setCustomFieldValue(domainField, selectedOption[0])

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()

try {
newIssue = issueManager.createIssueObject(user, newIssue)
} catch (CreateException e) {
log.error(e)
}

Here's how you would do it!

Hope this helps, let me know if it works
