setting field default value for a specific group of users.

[Kurt Callebaut]

Hi, i find some posts, but did not find a real answer to it, so...

How can we set a default value in a custom field, depending on the user that is logged in ?

i also cannot set the user group by default, like user is automatically set to reporter field.

anyone any idea ?

Wel, i found it as a payed plugin.

And its getting a bit expensive to add plugins each time atlassian missing a feature that should be standard for such a tool. but good news is there is a free alternative... hope this works also...

I suggested/proposed Jira for my company, but i cannot propose new additional prices to our management each week and each time i try to configure/setup jira.

Running into all those issues and additional fees, i hope it was a good choice. :(

Hello,

You can do it if you are on Jira Server/Data Center. You would need to use an app like Power Scripts or ScriptRunner.

If you want to use the Power Scripts add-on, then you would create a Live Field with a code like this:

if (userInGroup({"jira-users"}, currentUser()) {
   lfSet("customfield_10120", "your value");

}

You can read more about Live Fields here:

Hi!

I suppose you refer when creating the issue. Using ScriptRunner you could create a postfunction. Something like:

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser();
def isInGroup = ComponentAccessor.groupManager.getUserNamesInGroup(equipoQaUsers).contains(currentUser);
CustomField yourField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject("customfield_XXXXX");

if (isInGroup){
yourField.updateValue(....)
}

Sounds good. Thx.
