How do i get Jira Custom Field Value in a Script Runner

[VINAY KUMAR GOUNI]

I have a Script which gets the value of DueDate (Jira Default Field) and calculates the value out from Present Date and.

********************************************************************

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import groovy.time.TimeCategory
import groovy.time.TimeDuration
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

// Get a pointer to the current issue and extract the Due Date as a string

Issue issue = issue

Date dueDate = issue.getDueDate()

// Get the current date and time
Date today = new Date()

// Work out the number of days between the current date and the due date
def daysBetween = dueDate - today

*********************************************************************

Need some help updating this code to extract a Custom Field (Date Value) instead of Default DueDate Field.

Basically, how do i extract a Custom field (A Date Type) Value out?

Trying to replace DueDate (Default Field) with DateTypeField (Custom Field).

Hey Vinay 

Should be something like

def cfName = "First DateTime"

//get the custom field with name First DateTime
def cf = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue)?.find { it.name == cfName }

if (! cf) {
    log.debug "Custom field with name $cfName doesn't exist"
    return
}

// get the value of the custom field
def dateValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf) as Timestamp

Date today = new Date().toTimestamp()
def daysDiff = today - dateValue

log.debug daysDiff

Hi Thanos,

Thank you for the input,

I have the following error while trying to executing the provided code:

The timestamp import is missing, add the following in your existing imports

import java.sql.Timestamp

Hi Thanos,

It Worked, it also made me add Component Accessor Import.

But, The Results display null for the Preview.

Not Sure the Differences in the Date Types is causing this issue or something else

For the case above it should display a Result: 84 instead it is displaying null.

Requested_DueDate(06/15/18) - Created (03/22/18) = 84

Any thoughts/Advises.

Thanks

Vinay Kumar
