Script Runner, set 2 custom field values from rest endpoint

[Sam Snowball]

I have a behavior on field X which links to a custom rest endpoint. I am able to set the value of field X in the return value of the rest endpoint. How can I also set field Y in the same rest endpoint execution?

Essentially, when field X is changed, it should call a rest endpoint and that endpoint should edit both field X and field Y.

For field Y, I am able to find the issue and custom field that I want to change, but am unable to make updates to that field. I am making sure to use issueManager to update the issue once it's been changed, but still no luck. The same code to update a custom field works from within a listener, but doesn't seem to work within a rest endpoint.

HI @Sam Snowball , are you really on Cloud? Behavior functionality is not available on Cloud...

[Sam Snowball]

no I'm on data-centre, I'll change the tags

Ok, can you share your source codes or scripts? I'd like to know what you have...

[Martin Bayer _MoroSystems_ s_r_o__]

and one more question... do you want to change value of Field Y on the screen (using behavior) or using postfunction?

[Sam Snowball]

neither, I'm trying to set the field from code within the rest endpoint but it seems impossible - but the same code works fine from within a listener

// Setup objects
ApplicationUser currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
def componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance();
def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager();
UserManager userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager();
IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
Issue iss = issueManager.getIssueObject(event.issue.toString()); // Pass in the event.issue parameter to find the issue that was modified
MutableIssue issueToUpdate = (MutableIssue) iss;
// Find our custom fields
def fieldX = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('fieldX');
def fieldY = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('fieldY');

// Update custom fields
issueToUpdate.setCustomFieldValue(fieldX,"abc");
issueToUpdate.setCustomFieldValue(fieldY,"123");

// Save the updates
issueManager.updateIssue(currentUser, issueToUpdate, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false);

try to use this method:

fieldX.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(fieldX), "abc"), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())
fieldY.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(fieldY), "123"), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())

instead of

// Update custom fields
issueToUpdate.setCustomFieldValue(fieldX,"abc");
issueToUpdate.setCustomFieldValue(fieldY,"123");

// Save the updates
issueManager.updateIssue(currentUser, issueToUpdate, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false);

[Sam Snowball]

that isn't working :/

What can you see in your Jira log? Is there any exception?
