Can I get a field value from a ticket that came back as a search result using Groovy?

[tbarrett@bloomberg.net]

In the following script if the "searchCriteria" returns a ticket I then need to get the "Workitem Type" from that found ticket to display in the current ticket (as part of the string header) . Is that possible to do?

I found a potential solution by iterating through all of the possible 'Workitem Types' but that seems to be resource intensive and then I get many unnecessary links on my current Jira ticket. 

package HOL.webFragments

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

import static com.bloomberg.dtjira.Environment.*

import static com.bloomberg.dtjira.Utility.*

import static com.bloomberg.dtjira.Links.*

import com.bloomberg.dtjira.link.BaseLinkBuilder

class Links extends BaseLinkBuilder {

    @Override

    void doGenerate(Writer writer, Issue issue) {

        String alternateIssueId = values(issue, "Alternate Issue ID")[0]

        String issueKey = issue.getKey()

        values(issue, 'Ticker').forEach {

            simpleLink(writer, 'Function Link', "${it} Equity ${PHDC[env]}", 'Launch PHDC')

        }

        String holSummary = "US5 PSTK Update"

        if (issue.getSummary().contains(holSummary)) {

            String searchCriteria = "project = 'HOL' AND 'Alternate Issue ID' ~ '${alternateIssueId}' and summary ~ 'US5 PSTK Update' and key != '${issueKey}'"

            String header = "Tickets Bundled by Workitem ID:"

            jqlLink(writer, searchCriteria, 5, true, header)

        }

    }

}

If this is run from within scriptrunner, you should be able to use HAPI to run that JQL search, then access, the resulting issue's custom field values.

def issues = Issues.search(searchCriteria).collect()

if(issues){
  def workItemType = issue[0].getCustomFieldValue('Workitem Type')
}

 But that assumes that the Workitem Type you speak of is a custom field. Maybe that's in the context of some other third party app.
