behaviour sum of two number fields

[Omprakash Thamsetty]

Hi,

I am doing sum of 2 number fields and then adding to original estimate.

Here is steps

1. Created 2 number fields ( numField1 and numField2 )

2. writing below code in behavior on numField1. When ever it get change then take the value and add with numField2 and then set to original estimate

def numField1 = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())

def numField1_Val = numField1.getValue()

def numField2 = getFieldById("customfield_17xxx") // numField2
def numField2_Val = numField2.getValue()

long totalnumFields = numField1 + numField2

def orgEstimate = getFieldById("timetracking_originalestimate")
orgEstimate.setFormValue(totalnumFields)

but this does not work. Through error

org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException: Cannot cast object '66' with class 'java.lang.String' to class 'long'

Look like there is some conversion required to Int but not finding it. Can anyone has any idea.

Hello @Omprakash Thamsetty 

Yes, getValue returns String object, you need to convert it to long, like this

def numField1 = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())

def numField1_Val = numField1.getValue()

def numField2 = getFieldById("customfield_17xxx") // numField2
def numField2_Val = numField2.getValue()

long totalnumFields = Long.parseLong(numField1) + Long.parseLong(numField2)

def orgEstimate = getFieldById("timetracking_originalestimate")
orgEstimate.setFormValue(totalnumFields)

@Mark Markov  look like I needs to import some method it seems. Getting error for long.parseLong . can you suggest me which one will be import

[Mark Markov]

You dont need to import basic java things.

There is an error, you try to convert form fields instead of values,

try to replace

long totalnumFields = Long.parseLong(numField1_Val) + Long.parseLong(numField2_Val)

@Mark Markov  How to check for null value in behavior. Actually I am trying issue.timespent so its giving null when I create issue. Obviously it is null but how to check that and set zero in my code ? look like some below

TTSpentVal = issue.timespent

def TTSpentVal = 0

if(TTSpentVal){

     TTSpentVal1=issue.timespent as Long

}else{

 TTSpentVal1=0

}

but it is not checking value and setting zero. how to check value as null and set zero

[Mark Markov]

Like this

def TTSpentVal = issue.timespent

if(!TTSpentVal){

    TTSpentVal=0L

}

[Omprakash Thamsetty]

  It still not checking null. Getting below error

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot get property 'timeSpent' on null object

Behaviour doesn's have issue variable, try to use underlyingIssue instead

def TTSpentVal = underlyingIssue?.timespent
