(jira script runner listener) can't detect changes to Time Tracking's "Original Estimate" field

[Deleted user]

Hi,

I'm trying to detect changes to Time Tracking's "Original Estimate" field of an issue, so that if a change was detected - it will update a custom value (called "Original Issue Estimate").

To achieve that, I'm using Script-runner - Script listener. (my jira version is 7.9.0)

I listen to "Issue Updated" event & use the following code:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.project.version.Version
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.component.ProjectComponent

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder

log.warn("Issue updated event triggered listener")

IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def issue = event.getIssue()

if(event.issue.issueType.name == "Task" || event.issue.issueType.name == "Bug"){ 
 
 def isOriginalEstimateChanged = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem").find {it.field == "timetracking_originalestimate"}
 log.warn("isOriginalEstimateChanged =" + isOriginalEstimateChanged)
 
 if(isOriginalEstimateChanged){
 //if(true){
 
 log.warn("changed to timetracking_originalestimate detected ")
 
 def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()
 
 def origEstimateField = ComponentAccessor.getFieldManager().getField("timetracking_originalestimate")
 log.warn("timetracking_originalestimate value is (in seconds): " + issue.getOriginalEstimate().toString()) 
 def fValue = issue.getOriginalEstimate().doubleValue()

 def origEstimateInHours = fValue / 28800
 log.warn("timetracking_originalestimate value is (in hours): " + origEstimateInHours)

 def origIssueEstimate = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Original Issue Estimate")

 origIssueEstimate.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(origIssueEstimate), origEstimateInHours), changeHolder)
 }
 
}

However, I can't seem to detect the change to the "Original Estimate" field - 

when I change its value (via the edit issue screen") nothing get's updated & it doesn't get inside the following condition:

if(isOriginalEstimateChanged){

When I change the condition to be:

if(true){

It does update my custom field, so I guess I do something wrong in the way I try to detect a change to "Original Estimate" field:

def isOriginalEstimateChanged = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem").find {it.field == "timetracking_originalestimate"}

I already used the same method to detect changes to other fields ("Fix Version", "Components") successfully, so I do not know what I'm messing up here...

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello @[deleted]

Original estimate field have different name:

try

def isOriginalEstimateChanged = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem").find {it.field == "timeoriginalestimate"}

Thank you very much, that did the trick!

Hello @Mark Markov ,

How can I use this line to a custom field ID ? instead custom field name?

Thanks! :)

Hello,

Try to log the contents for the changelog to the atlassian-jira.log and have a look what is inside the object:

log.error("event?.getChangeLog(): ${event?.getChangeLog().toString()}")

Thanks Alexey, as Mark said, I got the field name wrong.

But if you have a look in the logs, you can find all names for the field. It will help to solve futher problems
