Fill select list custom field from scriptrunner mail-handler

[Bob]

I can't seem to get my script runner mail-handler to fill a custom field of the type "select list". 

Is this possible using the messageHandlerContext.createIssue?

I haven't played with the new mail-handler yet ... but have you looked up how to generally set a select custom field using scriptrunner? There are loads of examples here on the community.

My guess, after a quick read of the documentation, is that the messageHandlerContext.createIssue requires an issueObject created with issueFactory

From there you will need something like this

/* what comes before to get issueObject*/

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.optionsManager

//get the custom field and all the options relevant for the current issue
def mySelectCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_xxxxxx')
//alternate method for getting custom field, not safe if same name is used more than once
//def mySelectCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Select List Friendly Name')
def mySelectContextConfig = mySelectCf.getRelevantConfig(issueObject)
def selectOptions = optionsManager.getOptions(mySelectContextConfig)

//find the option you want to apply
def myOption = selectOptions.find{it.value == 'MySelectValue'}

if(myOption){
  issueObject.setCustomFieldValue(mySelectCf, myOption)
}

messageHandlerContext.createIssue(user, issueObject)

Hi Peter-Dave, 

Now this makes me feel silly. Had to get the relevant config after defining the issueobject. Weekend was past due. It works just fine. 

My apologies and gratitude,

Bob
