ScriptRunner get the old values of a customfield (script listener "send custom email")

[Sebastian_Aurin]

Hi,

we tried to use the following code snippet in our email template to get the 

old values of a customfield (script listener, send a custom email)

<%
def change = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem").find {it.field == "Name of custom field"}
if (change) {
    out << 'Old: ' + change.oldstring + "\n"
    out << 'New: ' + change.newstring
}
%>

But we got an error

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: event for class: groovy.lang.Binding

at groovy.lang.Binding.getVariable(Binding.java:61)

at groovy.lang.Binding.getProperty(Binding.java:103)

JIRA version: 6.4.7

ScriptRunner version: 3.1.4

Can you please tell us what we do wrong?

Thank you very much in advance

best regards

Sebastian

Can you describe what you're trying to do here? Is it notify when an issue is added or removed from the active sprint?

I worked around the problem in my script listener by avoiding use of event.  In my case, I wanted to listen to updates to see if issues were added or removed from a specific sprint.  I hard-coded the sprint id.  If someone can show me how to get the active sprint for a board, that would be great.

/*
 * Determines if the last change added or removed the item from the active sprint
 */
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level
 
def log = Logger.getLogger("com.xyz")
log.info("Condition Evaluation ...")
def ACTIVE_SPRINT = "194" //Hard code active sprint ID


// Get the last change ...
def changeHistoryManager = com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager()
def changeHistories = changeHistoryManager.getChangeHistories(issue);
def changeHistory = changeHistories.get(changeHistories.size()-1)
log.info("  changeHistory="+changeHistory)


// See if the last change contained a change to or from the active sprint
def changeItems =  changeHistory.getChangeItemBeans()
def added = false;
def removed = false;
changeItems.each() { com.atlassian.jira.issue.history.ChangeItemBean chgItem ->
    log.info("chgItem="+chgItem);
    def field = chgItem.getField()
	log.info("  field = " +field)
    if (field && field.equalsIgnoreCase("Sprint")) {
        log.info("    getFrom="+chgItem.getFrom());
        log.info("    getTo="+chgItem.getTo());
		removed =  chgItem.getFrom()==ACTIVE_SPRINT 
		added =  chgItem.getTo()==ACTIVE_SPRINT 
	}
}
log.info("Added?"+added+" or Removed?"+removed)

I have the same problem on 4.1.3.17.  I do not see the problem on an old system that is at 3.1.4.

[Sebastian_Aurin]

Thx, but this is also not the problem

we tested it on a other JIRA version

Jira: v7.1.7

ScriptRunner: 4.3.3

same error

you could try upgrading it and see if that fixes it, you're on a very old version...
