Scripted Field: Return specific phrases based on custom field values

[Clayton Chancey]

Hi all,

I am trying to use a Scripted Field to return a list of various responses, based on particular field values. For example, if the field "App1 Action Required" has a value of "Yes," I want the phrase "App1 Admin" to be added to a list that returns as the scripted field value. This is the inline script, which is currently returning a java.lang.NullPointerException... help?!

//resources
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
def customFieldMgr = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
//define result
def result = []
//add the specific phrase "App1 Admin" to the list of results if the value of c.f. "App1 Action Required" equals "Yes"
def actionApp1 = customFieldMgr.getCustomFieldObjectByName("App1 Action Required")
def valueApp1 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(actionAptos).toString()
if (valueApp1 == "Yes") {
 def printApp1 = "App1 Admin"
 result.add(printApp1)
}
//add the specific phrase "App2 Admin" to the list of results if the value of c.f. "App2 Action Required" equals "Yes"
def actionApp2 = customFieldMgr.getCustomFieldObjectByName("App2 Action Required")
def valueApp2 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(actionADP).toString()
if (valueApp2 == "Yes") {
 def printApp2 = "App2 Admin"
 result.add(printApp2)
}
//print full list of results
result

 Disclaimer: I am not very good at this..

You have 

def valueApp1 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(actionAptos).toString()

But actionAptos is not defined anywhere in your code? You should be passing in the custom field object that you got the line before ("actionApp1"):

//resources
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
def customFieldMgr = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
//define result
def result = []
//add the specific phrase "App1 Admin" to the list of results if the value of c.f. "App1 Action Required" equals "Yes"
def actionApp1 = customFieldMgr.getCustomFieldObjectByName("App1 Action Required")
def valueApp1 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(actionApp1).toString()
if (valueApp1 == "Yes") {
    def printApp1 = "App1 Admin"
 result.add(printApp1)
}
//add the specific phrase "App2 Admin" to the list of results if the value of c.f. "App2 Action Required" equals "Yes"
def actionApp2 = customFieldMgr.getCustomFieldObjectByName("App2 Action Required")
def valueApp2 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(actionApp2).toString()
if (valueApp2 == "Yes") {
    def printApp2 = "App2 Admin"
 result.add(printApp2)
}
//print full list of results
result

I forgot to change that one. (I changed the names of the actual "apps" we are using in our instance.) Good catch! However, even when aligning my verbiage as you describe, I am still drawing a java.lang.NullPointerException.

Hi Clayton,

Thanks for the information. The fields you are using are checkbox fields, right? In that case, getting the custom field value of a checkbox field will return an array of values, e.g. if someone selects 'Yes', the value returned will be: [Yes]. You should perhaps try calling the contains() method on the checkbox value instead.

//resources
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldMgr = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

//define result
def result = []

//add the specific phrase "App1 Admin" to the list of results if the value of c.f. "App1 Action Required" equals "Yes"
def actionApp1 = customFieldMgr.getCustomFieldObjectByName("App1 Action Required")
def valueApp1 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(actionApp1) as String
if (valueApp1.contains("Yes")) {
    def printApp1 = "App1 Admin"
    result.add(printApp1)
}

//add the specific phrase "App2 Admin" to the list of results if the value of c.f. "App2 Action Required" equals "Yes"
def actionApp2 = customFieldMgr.getCustomFieldObjectByName("App2 Action Required")
def valueApp2 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(actionApp2).toString()
if (valueApp2.contains("Yes")) {
    def printApp2 = "App2 Admin"
    result.add(printApp2)
}
//print full list of results
result

Thanks for your response, Josh.. I actually got it working using the script below. Thank you for your help!

//preparatory
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def customFieldMgr = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def result = []

//build outputs
 def app1value = customFieldMgr.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Action Required App1")
 def app1print = "App1 Admin"
 if (app1value) {
 def app1opt = issue.getCustomFieldValue(app1value)
 if (app1opt && app1opt.getValue() == "Yes") {
 result.add(app1print)}};
 
 def app2value = customFieldMgr.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Action Required App2")
 def app2print = "App2 Admin"
 if (app2value) {
 def app2opt = issue.getCustomFieldValue(app2value)
 if (app2opt && app2opt.getValue() == "Yes") {
 result.add(app2print)}};

//print output 
result

Glad to hear it is working, Clayton. Apologies that I could not get back to you sooner.

Thanks for using ScriptRunner!
