Using ScriptRunner, set component default value dynamically based on changes to the issue type

[Chaya]

I want to change the default value of component field based on issue type

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.ISSUE_TYPE

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.COMPONENTS

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.ISSUE_TYPE

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.COMPONENTS

if (underlyingIssue) {

    return // the issue already exists, therefore this is not the initial action, so don't set 

}

def issue_type = getFieldById(ISSUE_TYPE).value

if(issue_type == "Bug" || issue_type == "Enhancement"){

    getFieldById(COMPONENTS).setFormValue(["Test"])

} else{

    getFieldById(COMPONENTS).setFormValue([])

}

Above code is not working

How do I update default value based on selected issue type?

Hi @Chaya 

Not sure if it's the only issue but you do a comparaison between an issue type object and a string. You should use 

getFieldById(ISSUE_TYPE).value?.name

It may display an error because you did not declare it as IssueType but it should work.

@Florian Bonniec I tried with 

getFieldById(ISSUE_TYPE).value.name but it is giving error

Your code seems to be valid except that getFieldById(ISSUE_TYPE).value return the issue type id not the issuetype name

so def issue_type = getFieldById(ISSUE_TYPE).value.toString()

Then

if(issue_type == "XXXX" || issue_type == "YYYY"){

WHere XXXX and YYYY are issue type ids, not name

You can try ussing issueContext instead "getIssueContext().issueType.name"

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.ISSUE_TYPE

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.COMPONENTS

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.ISSUE_TYPE

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.COMPONENTS

if (underlyingIssue) {

    return // the issue already exists, therefore this is not the initial action, so don't set

}

def issue_type = getIssueContext().issueType.name

if(issue_type == "Bug" || issue_type == "Enhancement"){

    getFieldById(COMPONENTS).setFormValue(["Test"])

} else{

    getFieldById(COMPONENTS).setFormValue([])

}
