How to get a user's full name from the approvers list?

[Bruce Reed]

We use a scriptrunner post function to sends email regarding approvers of an issue. I need to grab the persons name from the approvers custom field. We are getting the approvers list using the following code:

def approversCF = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == "Approvers"}
def approvers = issue.getCustomFieldValue(approversCF)

This returns a list user names in the format:

[ joe.user@somedomain.com(joe.user@somedomain.com)]

Our user names are email addresses, so it looks like it returns both the username and the email address. What's the best way to get the user's full name from the above?

Hi Bruce, 

Here is a slightly modified version of your code that works for me: 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def cfManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def approversCF = cfManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Approvers")[0].getValue(issue)
def approversName = approversCF.displayName

The variable approversName holds the full names.
