Set date on a custom field using script runner

[Swarna Radha]

Hi,

I want to set date on a custom field using script runner. I am using the script below but it is giving me the date 1 month later not the current date.  I have added the code in a Post Function.

code:

def csDate2 = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Approved On")

Timestamp csDate1Value = (Timestamp) issue.getCreated()
Date csNewDateValue = new Date(csDate1Value.getTime() + 30*24*60*60*1000);
csDate2.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue("", (Object) csNewDateValue), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())

Kindly advice

Thanks

Swarna

It gives you one month later, because you add 30*24*60*60*1000, which is 30 days after the current date. You should do it like this:

def csDate2 = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Approved On")

Timestamp csDate1Value = (Timestamp) issue.getCreated()
Date csNewDateValue = new Date(csDate1Value.getTime());
csDate2.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue("", (Object) csNewDateValue), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())

Hi @Alexey Matveev, I'm trying to use this script, and am seeing the following errors. The second error says unable to resolve class ModifiedValue @ line 5, column 34 and unable to resolve class DefaultIssueChangeHolder @ line 5, column 82.

Any advice?

You need to add as the first line this line:

import java.sql.Timestamp

Hi @Alexey Matveev that worked! How about these two errors?

When I type in the import code, I'm getting errors that the system is unable to resolve class
