Adding a watcher through scriptrunner if a custom field is a certain value

[Ovidiu Vasilescu]

I'm trying this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

def issue = event.getIssue()
def user = userManager.getUserByName("username")

if (cfValues['FIELD']*.value.contains("VALUE")) {

watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue)

}

And I'm getting this error:

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: event for class: Script51
	at Script51.run(Script51.groovy:6)

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hi,

If this is a post function then your code should be as follows. I'm going to assume that ID of your custom field is 11111 and its type is 'text (single line)'.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def cfManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def cf = cfManager.getCustomFieldObject((Long) 11111)
def user = userManager.getUserByName("username")

if (issue.getCustomFiledValue(cf).equals("value")){
    watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue)
}

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for your reply. My field is a select list (single choice). I guess this is why I'm getting this error? 

Thanks,

Ovidiu.

Ah, I see. Then the code should be as follows:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def cfManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def cf = cfManager.getCustomFieldObject((Long) 11111)
def user = userManager.getUserByName("username")

if (issue.getCustomFiledValue(cf).getValue().equals("value")){
    watcherManager.startWatching(user, issue)
}

Hi Ivan,

I'm getting the exact same error with this syntax.

The cf is defined as you mentioned and it doesn't give any errors:

def cf = cfManager.getCustomFieldObject((Long) 11403)

Thanks,

Ovidiu.

There's a typo on line 10. 

Instead of:

issue.getCustomFiledValue(cf).getValue().equals("value")

it should be:

issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf).getValue().equals("value")

 After that you can pretty much ignore other static type checking errors. It should work.

Thanks a lot Ivan, this works!

I assume you are trying this in a listener?

Sorry, didn't mention this part. Doing it as a post function as part of the create transition.
