Scriptrunner - How to update Priority only if custom field is a specific value

[Michelle Campbell]

I want to use Scriptrunner to change the Priority of an issue to "High" if a certain custom field is set to a specific value and NOT change the Priority if the custom field is set to any other value.  Any thoughts on the code?  Thanks in advance!

Hello @Michelle Campbell 

Welcome to the community.

Is there a reason you need to do that specifically with ScriptRunner? You could easily do it with an Automation rule.

Thanks Trudy.  I didn't know it was possible with Automation.  I'll look into that - maybe it would be easier than Scriptrunner code.  ;-)

Automation is generally easier than Scriptrunner code as it is a no-or-low-code solution. Here is an example of a rule you could use:

Trigger: When your custom field is edited

Condition: If your custom field contains value X

Action Edit issue

- Set Field Priority to High
