Groovy script required to select values from a multi select list which are highlighted

[Peter]

So i have a script that will create subtasks from values populated in a multiselect custom field, but it uses all the values in the custom field and not just the highlighted ones. Is there a way i can edit this script to use only the select values of the custom field??

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.security.JiraAuthenticationContext
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

// Does not run if the ticket is a subtask
if ( issue.getIssueType().isSubTask() ) return 0

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager()
def issueFactory = ComponentAccessor.getIssueFactory()
def subTaskManager = ComponentAccessor.getSubTaskManager()
def constantManager = ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

def subTaskTypeId = constantManager.getAllIssueTypeObjects().find{ it.getName() == "Sub-Task" }.id
List<String> summariesList = []

// Get the values from the custom field 'Carrier' - Should probably change this to DB value of Carrier..
def buildFromField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue)find {it.name == "Carrier"}
def optionsFieldConfig = buildFromField.getRelevantConfig(issue)
def optionsFound = optionsManager.getOptions (optionsFieldConfig)


// Compile the summary name of the subtask to be created
optionsFound.each { optionName ->
summariesList.add( optionName.getValue() + ": " + issue.getSummary())
}

// Create the subtasks
summariesList?.each { subTaskSummary ->
MutableIssue newSubTask = issueFactory.getIssue()

newSubTask.setSummary(subTaskSummary)
newSubTask.setParentObject(issue)
newSubTask.setProjectObject(issue.getProjectObject())
newSubTask.setIssueTypeId(subTaskTypeId)

Map<String,Object> newIssueParams = ["issue" : newSubTask] as Map<String,Object>
issueManager.createIssueObject(currentUser, newIssueParams)
subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(issue, newSubTask, currentUser)
}

This line is the problem:

def optionsFound = optionsManager.getOptions (optionsFieldConfig)

It's going off to the field definition to get the list of possible options.  You really need to be reading the data from the issue, not the custom field definition.

That means something like

def customFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)

For a multi-select list, that will return an array of values you can iterate over

issueManager.createIssueObject(currentUser, newIssueParams)
subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(issue, newSubTask, currentUser)
}

Totally stuck..  keep getting this error..
