Update custom field option same component list

[debasish sahoo]

Let's say I have a component with the description "xyz"

I want to get the component name whose description is set as "xyz" to be updated as options for another custom field

@debasish sahoo Isn't that a bit redundant?

Update a field with a component field value. In theory you will only generate a "global" field for components, however you will have a "dirty" base of the field, as approximate and/or equal values would be included (with variations in the strings)

But if you want to do that, you have two options.

- Create a text field, copy the name of the xyz component and paste it in this field (not editable in screens)

or

- Create an automation for each project, going through all the components and storing them in an automation variable and then inserting the values in the field via api (webhook) Update custom field options (context) 

I hope I helped you.

Hello @Carlos Faddul ,

I was not clear enough, 

Lets say I have a component "testcomp" which has description mentioned as "program"

another component is there which do not have any description or it has some different  description other than "program "

then the custom field should list only those component which has description as "program" in its select list.

@debasish sahoo in this case you will need to use a little of the automation

1. Trigger field change or anything similar
2. Action> Create Variable > "tempDescription"
3. Action> Send webrequest > Get Component ID and set "tempDescription"
4. Action > Create Variable > "tempDescriptionAux"
5. Action> Send webrequest > Get Component ID and set "tempDescriptionAux"
6. Condition > if/else > tempDescription != Empty AND tempDescriptionAux = Empty
   1. Action> Send Webrequest Update a Component > set value of tempDescriptionAux with "tempDescription"

With this you can make our rule :)

I was able to solve this using the script listener mapped with any issue chnage event.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.config.manager.FieldConfigManager

import org.apache.log4j.Logger

import org.apache.log4j.Level

def issue = event.issue

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

final customFieldName = "App/Library"

def fieldConfig = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(FieldConfigManager).getFieldConfig(18305)

def componentManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectComponentManager()

def components = componentManager.findAllForProject(issue.getProjectObject().id)

def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager()

def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName(customFieldName).first()

def config = customField.getRelevantConfig(issue)

def optionValues = []

def customrow = []

def ref = ""

log.debug("startin component check")

components.each { component ->

if (component.getDescription() == "app-lib") {

def componentvalue = component.getName().toString()

customrow = [component.getName()]

def issueChangeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()

optionValues = optionsManager.getOptions(fieldConfig)

def optionStrings = optionValues.collect { it.toString() }

def containsTargetValue = optionStrings.any { it.contains(componentvalue) }

ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField), customFieldValue);

if (containsTargetValue) {

log.debug("checking for if 1" +" "+ optionStrings)

return

}

else {

log.debug("adding field" +" "+ customrow +" "+"to" +" "+ optionStrings)

optionsManager.createOption(config, null, null, componentvalue)

}

}

}

log.debug("checking for final " + optionValues)
