Need to update the value of a JIRA custom field from NULL to the value specified in the script using groovy

[Nishant Kansal]

Please tell me what is wrong with this script? It is returning NULL.

Requirement: Need to update the value of a custom field from NULL to the value specified in the script.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;

def fieldid = 14601L //field id; currently having null value
def dbValue = "8.0.8" //New value to be assigned to the custom field

def issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueByCurrentKey("TIK-3039"); //issue in JIRA
MutableIssue myIssue = issue;

def customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject(fieldid); //Identification of Custom Field Object

myIssue.setCustomFieldValue(customField,dbValue); //updating the value from "Null" to the value declared above "dbValue"

Best regards,

Hi Nishant,

Try this one

 import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
Long fieldid = 14601L //field id; currently having null value
def dbValue = "8.0.8" //New value to be assigned to the custom field
MutableIssue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueByCurrentKey("TIK-3039"); //issue in JIRA
def customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject(fieldid); //Identification of Custom Field Object
issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField,dbValue); //updating the value from "Null" to the value declared above "dbValue"
return (String) issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField);

Thanks Aleks for your inputs. Just a minute back only, I also did the same and it worked perfectly......I was missing the return statement!!!

Hi,

I have 3 groovy scripts- A, B and C 

1. "A" calculates certain values and puts them into an array
2. "B" takes those values as inputs from A and connect to an external database and returns a value
3. "C" takes that return value from "B"  

As of now, I have hard coded the values in each of the script to develop and test. However, in real time, I want them to be one script with the above dependency in place. 

How I can combing them under one script? This script then will be added as a post function in JIRA.

Please help. 

Thanks, 
Nishant
