How to Get Custom field (Dropdownl list ) selected value?

[Nikhil Rote]

Hi,

    We have written one dropdown list name['EMployee']. In Employee Field there are 4 employee name ex{john, mark, sham, george}. Suppose we select 'mark' in dropdownlist. Then how should i get value of this field using groovy script?. We need 'mark' string value.
         Can any one help us. we are using 7.3.0 jira version. Thanks in advance.

Depends on where you're running the code, but assuming it's a post-function which provides "current issue" for immediate use, then

def myCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("EMployee")

def cfValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue ( customField )

And then, as you will have had options returned, cfValue.getName() for it as a string.

Hi Nic Brough,

          Yes we are using Post function.  we have tried 'cfValue.getName()' but it is showing error.

Attached screenshot please check and let me know where is the mistake in my code.
