scriptrunner post-function set single select custom field

[Jiri]

I am trying to set single select custom field in post-fuction, but I don't have much luck.

We are using still old Scriptrunner 6.55 and the examples on the web don't exactly work. Documentation does not have an example for single select.

I currently use this code to update a date field, which works, but I am not able to figure out how to update single select field.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import java.sql.Timestamp

def projectComponentManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectComponentManager()
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

// a date time field
def dateCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_21303") // Date time fields require a Timestamp
issue.setCustomFieldValue(dateCf, new Timestamp((new Date()).time))

 Anyone can help?

Hi there!

Not sure what in the documentaion you have tried already, but ths should help you on your way:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor


def issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("SOME-ISSUE_KEY")
def customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject(14810L)
def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.optionsManager

def fieldConfig = customField.getRelevantConfig(issue)
def options = optionsManager.getOptions(fieldConfig)
def option = options.find { it.value == "Operations" }

issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField, option)

What it does:

• Get an issue
• Get the select CF with ID 14810 (change this of course)
• Get the fieldconfig of the select CF relevant to the issue
• In the fieldconfig find the Option with name "Operations" (Find your value here)
• Set the custom field on the issue 

The should still be some logic added to actually update the issue (with the issueManager).

Hope this helps!

Works like a charm. I only commented out the second line of the code as the post-function can run it on any issue.

Thank you!

I see that you're on an old version of ScriptRunner, and you have an answer compatible with that version.

In future if you can upgrade, I think HAPI would be very beneficial, it drastically simplifies this kind of thing.

To achieve the same result in a post function with HAPI, you'd use code like this:

issue.set {
    setCustomFieldValue(21303L, 'Operations') // By ID
    setCustomFieldValue('FieldName', 'Operations') // By name
}

Hi @Reece Lander _ScriptRunner - The Adaptavist Group_ ,

From what version can we use this? This is awesome!

HAPI is available in ScriptRunner for Jira 7.11.0 and above :)

Here are some more examples for updating custom fields with HAPI:

The syntax for setCustomFieldValue is identical in a post function, you just need to remember to use issue.set { } not issue.update { } in a post function, the script editor in app will warn you if you use the wrong one.
