Hi, I develop this Custom Listener:

package com.meredith.jira.groovy

import org.apache.log4j.Category

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.JiraServiceContext
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.JiraServiceContextImpl
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.filter.SearchRequestService
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.AbstractIssueEventListener
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent
import com.atlassian.jira.event.listeners.reindex.ReindexMessageListener
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.search.SearchRequest
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.search.SearchResults
import com.atlassian.jira.web.bean.PagerFilter

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor


class PutNoMI extends AbstractIssueEventListener {
  Category log = Category.getInstance(PutNoMI.class)

  //private static final Long FILTER_ID = 10201
  ComponentManager cm = ComponentManager.getInstance()

  CustomFieldManager cfm = cm.getCustomFieldManager()

  def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager()

  def authenticationContext = cm.getJiraAuthenticationContext()
  JiraServiceContext ctx = new JiraServiceContextImpl(authenticationContext.getUser())
  def searchProvider = cm.getSearchProvider()
  SearchRequestService searchRequestService = cm.getSearchRequestService()
  SearchRequest request = searchRequestService.getFilter(ctx,10201)

  IssueManager issueManager = cm.getIssueManager()

  public PutNoMI()
  {
    log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG)
    log.debug "debug statements"
    log.info "in constructor"
  }
  @Override
  void workflowEvent(IssueEvent event) {
    MutableIssue issue = event.issue as MutableIssue

    CustomField workPriority = cfm.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == "Comment MI"}

    //MODIFICAT
    def fieldConfig = workPriority.getRelevantConfig(issue)
    def newValue = optionsManager.getOptions(fieldConfig)?.find{it.value == "No"}

    //log.info "Value to change CommentMI in next issue: ${newValue}"


    def results = getSearchResults(request)
    results.getIssues().eachWithIndex { iss , i ->
      issue = issueManager.getIssueObject(iss.id)

      log.info "Processing ${issue.key}"
      i += 1
      def commentMI = issue.getCustomFieldValue(workPriority)
      log.info "Actual Value of CommentMI: ${commentMI}"

      log.info "GO, changin commentMI..."
      issue.setCustomFieldValue(workPriority, newValue)

      def newCurrentIssuePriority = issue.getCustomFieldValue(workPriority)
      log.info "CHANGED! New value of commentMI in this issue: ${newCurrentIssuePriority}"
    }

  }

  SearchResults getSearchResults(SearchRequest sr) {
    return searchProvider.search(sr.getQuery(), authenticationContext.getUser(), PagerFilter.getUnlimitedFilter())
  }

}

But I have problem, my logs shows that the custom Field is changed but when I enter to issue, the custom field 'Comment MI' still the same..

These are my logs:

Any idea of my problem?

You need to do more than issue.setCustomFieldValue()... look into using the IssueService.

If you are not setting the field value through workflow for current ticket, then you will have to Update the issue once you have set some field's value in a request.


issueManager.updateIssue(currentUser, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, true);
