Scriptrunner: How do i set component when cloning an issue in jira cloud?

[Randy]

I'm trying to use scriptrunner's clone issue post function.  Since the destination project has component as a required field, I need to set the component.  

I have the component ID and am okay with hardcoding it in the script.  Anyone know how i would accomplish this?

I've tried the following so far:

issueInput.fields.components += {id: "12345"}

issueInput.fields.components = [id: "12345"]

Both result in the following error:

2018-05-18 21:37:56.342 ERROR - Infinite recursion (StackOverflowError) (through reference chain: java.util.LinkedHashMap["fields"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["components"]->java.util.ArrayList[0]->_run_closure1["delegate"]->Script1["binding"]->groovy.lang.Binding["variables"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["issueInput"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["fields"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["components"]->java.util.ArrayList[0]->_run_closure1["delegate"]->Script1["binding"]->groovy.lang.Binding["variables"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["issueInput"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["fields"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["components"]->java.util.ArrayList[0]->_run_closure1["delegate"]->Script1["binding"]->groovy.lang.Binding["variables"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["issueInput"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["fields"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["components"]->java.util.ArrayList[0]->_run_closure1["delegate"]->Script1["binding"]->groovy.lang.Binding["variables"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["issueInput"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["fields"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["components"]->java.util.ArrayList[0]->_run_closure1["delegate"]->Script1["binding"]->groovy.lang.Binding["variables"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["issueInput"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["fields"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["components"]->java.util.ArrayList[0]->_run_closure1["delegate"]->Script1["binding"]->groovy.lang.Binding["variables"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["issueInput"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["fields"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["components"]->java.util.ArrayList[0]->_run_closure1["delegate"]->Script1["binding"]->groovy.lang.Binding["variables"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["issueInput"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["fields"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["components"]->java.util.ArrayList[0]->_run_closure1["delegate"]->Script1["binding"]->groovy.lang.Binding["variables"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["issueInput"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["fields"]->java.util.LinkedHashMap["components"]->java.util.ArrayList[0]->_run_closure1["delegate"]->Script1["binding"]->groovy.lang.Binding["variables"]->java.util.L

It looks like it's running into an infinite loop when serializing the component field?  Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Hi Randy,

The components field is an array so to set the value you require, you should use syntax similar to the example show below where you specify the component by its name using a name, value pair.

issueInput.fields.components = [[name: '<ComponentNameHere>']]

That did it.  Thanks!

Any idea how you do this so that you can add a new component without overwriting any components that are already there? I have a use case where I want to be able to add multiple components either through scripts or by the users.

[Randy]

@E01807  you can read from the components field, add to the array, then set the array to the issueInput component field as Kristian showed above.

Thanks @Randy . I'm pretty new to this. Would it be possible for you to post a code snippet on how this might be achieved?

[Randy]

This might work.  Note that it's untested.  Assumes Issue and issueInput are available in the script context as bindings

def newComponentList = issue.fields.components.clone()

newComponentList.add([name: 'New Component'])

issueInput.fields.components = newComponentList
