Need help on copying custom field to another custom field

Zaldy · November 21, 2023, 3:27am

Hi all,

My first post here. Being new to ScriptRunner, I wanted to create couple of scripts as replacement for our Jira Service Management automation rule.

The first requirement is:
One create or edit, update the Approvers field with the value from AD Manager field
Approvers field is a multi users pick list field; while AD Manager is a single user pick list field. And AD Manager is automatically updated from our Active Directory system.

From the sample scripts and postings, I come up with this script…
// get custom fields so we can find the id of AD Manager field
def customFields = get(“/rest/api/2/field”)

```
   .asObject(List)*
```
```
   .body*
```

   .findAll { (it as Map).custom } as List<Map>*

def ADManagerCfId = customFields.find { it.name == ‘AD Manager’ }?.id
def ApproversCfId = customFields.find { it.name == ‘Approvers’ }?.id

//to check the listener is only applied to the correct project
def projectKey = “TEST” //update to match the expected project
if (issue == null || ((Map) issue.fields.project).key != projectKey) {

logger.info(“Wrong Project ${issue.fields.project.key}”)*
return*
}

//get the values from your issues
def ADManager = issue.fields[ADManagerCfId] as Map
def ApproversName = issue.fields[ApproversCfId] as Map

//update the issue with the new approver
put(“/rest/api/2/issue/${issue.key}”)

   .header("Content-Type", "application/json")*

```
   .body([*
```
```
           fields: [*
```

                   "Approvers": ADManager*

```
           ]*
```
```
   ])*
```
```
   .asString()*
```

But the Approvers field is not being updated at all.
Appreciate any help/guidance fixing my script to work.

Regards,

Hi.
At first, in the editor, there is an option to paste code that makes the review easier and looks like that:

// get custom fields so we can find the id of AD Manager field
def customFields = get(“/rest/api/2/field”)

   .asObject(List)
   .body
   .findAll { (it as Map).custom } as List<Map>
def ADManagerCfId = customFields.find { it.name == ‘AD Manager’ }?.id
def ApproversCfId = customFields.find { it.name == ‘Approvers’ }?.id

//to check the listener is only applied to the correct project
def projectKey = “TEST” //update to match the expected project
if (issue == null || ((Map) issue.fields.project).key != projectKey) {

logger.info(“Wrong Project ${issue.fields.project.key}”)
return
}
//get the values from your issues
def ADManager = issue.fields[ADManagerCfId] as Map
def ApproversName = issue.fields[ApproversCfId] as Map

//update the issue with the new approver
put(“/rest/api/2/issue/${issue.key}”)

   .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
   .body([
           fields: [
                   "Approvers": ADManager
           ]
   ])
   .asString()

Also, regarding your problem, the users, usually are updated using the accountId, so you should use ADManager.accountId
And also, if it’s a list, you should send an array
"Approvers: [ADManager.accountId]

I hope this helps.
Thanks, Ivan.

Hi (@imadero) Ivan,

Thanks for your suggestion. It was my first post and not aware there is a better to copy-paste the code. I noticed it after I posted my question that the code is not 100% readable.

I’ll try the suggested code and will get back to you soon after.

Cheers

Hi Ivan (@imadero ),

I modified my put statement adding [ADManager.accountId], as in…

//update the issue with the new approver
put("/rest/api/2/issue/${issue.key}")
        .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
        .body([
                fields: [
                        "Approvers": [ADManager.accountId]
                ]
        ])
        .asString()

After editing the Jira issue, the log showed an error…

The script is set to run as ScriptRunner Add-on User.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi.
I think the problem is “Approvers” is the name of the field, not the id, and you should send the id of the field to update → ApproversCfId : ADManager.accountId

Also check if Approvers is a list or not, if not a list you should send only “Approvers”: ADManager.accountId

Thanks, Ivan.

Hi Ivan,

I tried your suggestion:

//update the issue with the new approver
put("/rest/api/2/issue/${issue.key}")
        .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
        .body([
                fields: [
                        *ApproversCfId: [ADManager.accountId]*
                ]
        ])
        .asString()

But I got this error in the log…
2023-11-23 03:13:37.798 INFO - Serializing object into ‘interface java.util.List’
2023-11-23 03:13:37.842 INFO - GET /rest/api/2/field asObject Request Duration: 1004ms

See https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/cloud/#api/2/issue-editIssue for more information.
If you are using the ScriptRunner user then check the Field Configuration

The Approver field is a multi-value user picklist.

Hi, looks like it was a bit tricky.

put("/rest/api/2/issue/${issue.key}")
   .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
   .body([
           fields: [
                   "${ApproversCfId}": [ //You need here to interpolate ApproversCfId as a String
                       ['accountId': ADManager.accountId]
                       ]
           ]
   ])
   .asString()

But this work for me in a test instance.
Also check Approvers field is well configured in the proper screens

Thanks, Ivan

Zaldy · November 23, 2023, 10:35pm

You’re such a legend, Ivan.
The ${ApproversCfId} did the trick.
I simply copied-pasted your latest code.
And it worked as expected.

I really appreciate this very much.
Cheers, mate.

Just one more thing…

How to I add an IF condition for issue type = “Service Request with Approval”; ELSE do nothing or quit.
Currently the script is running even for Incident and Problem tickets.

imadero · November 24, 2023, 8:23am

Glad to be able to help!
To accomplish the validation what I would do here is to check the following:

if(issue.fields.issuetype.name != 'Service Request with Approval'){
    return
}

The return statement makes the script stop executing when the issue type is different from the one you choose.

Thanks, Ivan.,
