Receive Error "Cannot Get Property Issue Type on null object on script runner behavior scripts

[Nannette Mori]

Script Runner Version: 6.56.0

Jira Data Center 8.22.6

We have created several Behavior Script using Script Runner.  The Behavior Scripts work but in the atlassian.log I am seeing the error below on the "Create Issue" event.

Script failed on issue (Create Issue) Cannot get Property Issue type  on null object

How do we fix this?

Hi @Nannette Mori 

What is the script causing this issue ? You seems to use the function getIssueTypeObject or getIssueTypeId on an issue object that is not defined.

You should use the code below instead.

getIssueContext().issueType.name

At issue creation the issue you are creating do not exist yet, context does.

I was using the following:

def issue = getUnderlying issue()

def issueType = issue.IssueType

if(issueType.name == "DR)

[Florian Bonniec]

Yes but issue do not exist yet when you are on the create screen.

[Nannette Mori]

so do I change def issueType = getIssueContext().issueType.name

[Florian Bonniec]

yes
