ScriptRunner post-function: error when trying to set custom field value

[Elena Oleksenko]

Hi there!

I'm trying to get an active sprint name from a given board in the post-function and write a sprint name to a custom field. 

Here is the script that I use in the post-function:

import com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.rapid.view.RapidViewService
import com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.sprint.SprintIssueService
import com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.sprint.SprintManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.JiraAgileBean
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.WithPlugin
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager


/**
 * Configurable section
 */
// Enter the name of the board to which you want to add the issue to the first active sprint
def rapidBoardId = 619
def cfm = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def item = cfm.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Item")
def active

log.error("item: " + item)
@WithPlugin("com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira")

@JiraAgileBean
RapidViewService rapidViewService

@JiraAgileBean
SprintIssueService sprintIssueService

@JiraAgileBean
SprintManager sprintManager

Issue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("your issue key")

def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def view = rapidViewService.getRapidView(loggedInUser, rapidBoardId).getValue()

if (! view) {
 log.warn("No view with this ID found")
 return
}

def sprints = sprintManager.getSprintsForView(view).getValue()
def activeSprint = sprints.find { it.active }
log.debug activeSprint

if (activeSprint) {
 active = activeSprint.name
 issue.setCustomFieldValue(item, active)
}
else {
 log.info ("No active sprints were found for board: ${view.name}")
}
 
 

As a result of post-function I get an error:

2018-12-12 04:19:57,388 ERROR [workflow.ScriptWorkflowFunction]: Script function failed on issue: SM-964, actionId: 61, file: <inline script>
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method setCustomFieldValue() on null object
	at Script126.run(Script126.groovy:51)

Please help me to understand what is wrong in the script ans how to make it work. 

Thank you!

Hi Elena!

It seems that you call this into Script console. 

Variable issue is defined as current issue when code is used into postfunction.

You need to use correct issue key here

Issue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("your issue key")

 You also need to save your changes into DB when use script console with IssueManager.updateIssue() method. https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.6.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/IssueManager.html#updateIssue-com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser-com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue-com.atlassian.jira.issue.UpdateIssueRequest-
