getCustomFieldValue() producing an error

[Tyler Brown-Jones]

Hi

So i am trying to get the value of a custom field that stores the remaining time, here is my code

def estField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Total Remaining Estimate") 
def cFieldValue = (double) issues.getCustomFieldValue(estField)

In my logs this is returning the following error

2018-06-07 17:45:02,439 Caesium-1-1 ERROR anonymous no estimate - send email [c.o.jira.groovy.GroovyService] Script service failed: D:\Atlassian\scripts\IHNE.groovy
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: java.util.ArrayList.getCustomFieldValue() is applicable for argument types: (com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.ImmutableCustomField) values: [Total Remaining Estimate]

 Hope someone is able to answer/resolve this issue for me as i am stumped.

Kindest regards and many thanks

Tyler

Hello,

How do you initialize the issues variable? It is an ArrayList. I guess it is an ArrayList<Issue>. But to make sure I need to see your code.

If it is ArrayList<Issue> it would work like this:

def estField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Total Remaining Estimate") 
def cFieldValue
issues.each{ 
 cFieldValue = (double) it.getCustomFieldValue(estField)
}

 Hope you are able to identify the issue a bit better now, Thanks @Alexey Matveev

You're great, thanks for this it has got it working.

Could you explain what issue -> does within the loop please? just so i know for future reference.

[Alexey Matveev]

When you do a loop with the each statement you can reference each element of an array with the it variable. But I tend to rename this variable so, that it would be more understandable. That is why issue -> means that you will be using the issue variable instead of the it variable. If you remove the issue -> part, then you can change all issue. parts with the it. part.

[Tyler Brown-Jones]

Ahh, thanks for the great explanation. I will use this more in the future, thank you again @Alexey Matveev you have been a valid source of help and information these past days.

[Alexey Matveev]

@Tyler Brown-Jones you are welcome!

HI @Tyler Brown-Jones

Try to use like this and check

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;

CustomField cf = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject(new Long(10266));

Issues.getCustomFieldValue(cf)

[Tyler Brown-Jones]

that's exactly what i did apart i referenced by name as it works fine for immutableCustomFields , but why the (new Long(10266)) part in your code?
