Update the summary value if the chosen priority is "High" when creating issue

[mikel]

Hey! My goal is to update the summary by adding a word "Important" at the beginning of the summary if the selected priority is "High". I am doing this with ScriptRunner by creating a behaviour. I create a mapping for the behaviour with choosing all "issue types". I did not add any field and just add a initialiser scpt. Please see the script below. It has no error but it is failing to update the summary when I set the priority to High when creating issue. 

```

import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.util.UserMessageUtil

def priorityField = getFieldById("priority")

def summaryField = getFieldById("summary")

log.debug(priorityField.getValue()?.toString())

// Check if the chosen priority is "High"

if (priorityField.getValue()?.toString() == "High") {

def summaryValue = summaryField.getValue() as String

log.debug(summaryValue)

// Add "Urgency: " prefix to the summary

def updatedSummary = "Urgency: $summaryValue"

summaryField.setFormValue(updatedSummary)

} else {

// Show a warning message if the priority is not "High"

UserMessageUtil.warning("This behavior only applies when Priority is set to High.")

}

```

Hi @Naheem Olaniyan

After reviewing your code, it will not work as expected. If you look through your if/else conditions, you cannot get the Priority's name directly. You will have to use its Priority ID, i.e. a numeric value if you are using your approach.

You will need to configure a Server-Side Behaviour for the Priority field and modify your slightly to:-

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueConstant
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.util.UserMessageUtil
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours behaviours
def priorityField = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def priorityValue = priorityField.value as IssueConstant
def summaryField = getFieldById("summary")

log.debug(priorityValue)

// Check if the chosen priority is "High"
if (priorityValue.name == "High") {
   def summaryValue = summaryField.getValue() as String
   log.debug(summaryValue)
   // Add "Urgency: " prefix to the summary
   def updatedSummary = "Urgency: $summaryValue"
   summaryField.setFormValue(updatedSummary)
} else {
   // Show a warning message if the priority is not "High"
   UserMessageUtil.warning("This behavior only applies when Priority is set to High.")
}

If you notice the updated code above, instead of using priorityField.getValue()?.toString() == "High", I am converting the Priority field's value into an IssueConstant.

From there I am able to use the name and compare it against either High, Low, Lowest, Blocker etc in the if/else condition.

Below is a screenshot of the Behaviour configuration:-

I hope this helps to answer your question. :-)

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram

This is really helpful. Thanks

Hi Mikel,

The initialiser script is called when the dialog is shown - and at that point the user has not selected a priority. What you need to do is to add the 'Priority' field and add your script as a server-side script for that field. That way your code will get executed whenever the user selects a value for the'Priority' field.

Thanks for the clarification
