Change custom field ( select field type) value not working.

[sharma-shweta]

Hi,

I have written a script to assigna value to a custom field of select field type. I want to change the value of the field to 'Yes' option. I added a add comment statement to the code which would show the value of the field after I set it to 'yes'. The output comment is [Yes].

But when I search for issues with 'Yes' option for the custom field as the filter, the issue doesnt show up.

Can some one tell me what might be the issue?

ComponentAccessor componentAccessor= ComponentAccessor.newInstance()
CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = componentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
IssueManager issueManager = componentAccessor.getIssueManager()

String currentUser = ((WorkflowContext) transientVars.get("context")).getCaller();

def tgtField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Test-GlobDefect")
def tgtFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(tgtField)

OptionsManager optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager()
Option option = optionsManager.getOptions(tgtField.getRelevantConfig(issue)).getOptionForValue("No", null);

issue.setCustomFieldValue(tgtField ,[option])

issueManager.updateIssue(componentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.getLoggedInUser(), issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)

CustomField srcField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == "Test-GlobDefect"}
cfwt = issue.getCustomFieldValue(srcField).toString()



commmgr = (CommentManager) ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(CommentManager.class)
commmgr.create(issue, currentUser,cfwt , true)
issue.store()

you add the statement

ComponentAccessor.getIssueIndexManager().reIndex(issue);

at the end and check.

Hi,

I realized there is some issue with this line:

issueManager.updateIssue(componentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.getLoggedInUser(), issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)

with this line, the script doesnt run..

[Bharadwaj Jannu]

Yes, I think componentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser() would be there.

Did you tried by adding reindex code ?

[sharma-shweta]

Yes I tried tried re-indexing.. didnt help.

[Bharadwaj Jannu]

where you are adding this code?

[RambanamP]

We've had a problem with multi-select fields (from what I gather that's the type of your field), where we couldn't filter the information by their values. The way I fixed it is, I made the multi-select field behave like the default Component field in Jira (i.e. add lables for each option). I did that by adding this JavaScript to the description of the multi-select field:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function($) {
  
 // "customfield_10400" is the number of the custom 
 // multiselect field you want to change as e.g. 
 // seen at the end of the "configure" page url of 
 // the field you want to change this way 
  
    AJS.$("#customfield_10400 option[value='-1']").remove(); //Removes the default value "None"
    function convertMulti(id){
        if (AJS.$('#'+id+"-textarea").length == 0){
            new AJS.MultiSelect({
                element: $("#"+id),
                itemAttrDisplayed: "label",
                errorMessage: AJS.params.multiselectComponentsError
            });
  
        }
    }
  
    AJS.toInit(function(){   
        convertMulti("customfield_10400");
    })
  
    JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e, context) {
        AJS.$("#customfield_10400 option[value='-1']").remove();
        convertMulti("customfield_10400");
    });
  
})(AJS.$);
</script>

After that everything worked like a charm.
