Using JETI through Post Function Workflow

[Sam Morris]

Hi

I'm trying to send an email as a Post Function using JETI. The recipents are in a JIRA Group which is in a custom field called Reviewers. See below.



I'm the only member of the group and I'm not recieving the email. I know email is working fine, I've tested sending an email to single user in a custom field and it works Ok.

Can you send emails to Group which are populated in a custom field ? Any ideas ?

Have you got "email me on my changes" enabled in your profile?

[Sam Morris]

Yes, my profile is set to "Notify me" for my changes.

In addition the Reviewers custom field is generated by using the Behaviours Plugin -

FormField ap = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
FormField reviewers = getFieldByName ("Reviewers")

String approvals_process = ap.getValue()

log.debug "Approval Process....." + approvals_process

if (approvals_process == "TAS") {
reviewers.setFormValue("cmc-tas-level-one-approvers")
}
else if (approvals_process == "SAS") {
reviewers.setFormValue("cmc-sas-level-one-approvers")
}
else if (approvals_process == "EUS") {
reviewers.setFormValue("cmc-eus-level-one-approvers")
}
else {
reviewers.setFormValue("cmc-dba-level-one-approvers")
}

Oh, hang on, that could explain it.

As far as I can tell, JETI can use either a "user" field to send email to, a "group" field, or a raw email address as text. But you've told it to use a "scripted" field. So, I think JETI is getting a string from the field and ignoring it beause it's not a valid email, a user or a group.

I am guessing here - your log might tell you more.

I thought that might be the case.

Any ideas how you script a Group field ?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

I don't think you can directly - the *type* of a field is determined by the code in the plugin providing it - in this case, the script runner does not announce a scripted field as containing anything other than "results of a script"

I suspect the best you can do is bin the scripted field, replace it with a group field, then take the code you were using in the scripted field and move it into a listener that will populate the group field appropriately

Thanks for the advice. That worked !
