Read value from Group picker field

[mani@123]

Hi All,

I am using the below code to read a group picker field.

def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
def gpField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName(fName)
String cfVal = issue.getCustomFieldValue(gpField)

But i am getting below value:

[com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.impl.ImmutableGroup@8b6fabb8]

I am expecting the exact group value instead of object. Please suggest me.

Thanks in Advance,
Mani

You can use:

def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()
def gpField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName(fName)

def cfVal = issue.getCustomFieldValue(gpField)

if(cfVal){
    // for single group picker
    log.error(cfVal.get(0).getName())
    // for multi group picker
    //cfVal.each{
        // log.error(it.getName())
    //}
}

Thank you Martin, it worked.

Could also please help me setting the value for DataPicker field. I am using the below code

def pattern = "dd/MMM/yy"
Date dt = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern).parse("13/Aug/19")

I am getting below error:
