Update Custom Field with the Values from Two Other Fields (Automation for Jira)

[David]

Hi,
I have Scriptrunner and Automation for Jira plugins.

I'm trying to have a scriptrunner action in Automation for Jira that updates a custom field with values from two other fields.

Namely, I'm trying to concatenate the Issue Key and the Issue Summary in the custom field.

Are you able to provide help?

try the following one 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParameters
import org.apache.log4j.Logger


def log = Logger.getLogger("com.onresolve.jira.groovy")

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject("YourCustomFieldID")
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def user = userManager.getUserByName("YourAdmin")
def customFieldValue = issue.key +" "+ issue.summary


issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField,customFieldValue)
issueManager.updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

Update the following line

ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject("customFieldId=10711")

With 

ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject(10711)

this code is working with the latest script runner version, please if you still have the problem mention your instance version

I have Version 5.5.0.

I changed the ("customFieldId=10711") to just (10711) but I'm still getting the same "cannot find matching method" error on the last two lines of the script.

I also tried swapping the last two lines of code to Antoine's suggestion but that gives me the following error:

unable to resolve class ModifiedValue
@ line 17, column 38.

unable to resolve class DefaultlssueChangeHolder
@ line 17, column 96.

Code is currently as follows:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParameters
import org.apache.log4j.Logger

def log = Logger.getLogger("com.onresolve.jira.groovy")

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject(10711)
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def user = userManager.getUserByName("EPP Team")
def customFieldValue = issue.key +" "+ issue.summary

def customFieldOldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)
customField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(customFieldOldValue, customFieldValue), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())

Add these two imports : 

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

That did the trick, it's working now. Thank you!

I tried this but running into an error. Here is what I get:

[Static type checking] - Cannot find matching method

com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue#setCustomFieldValue(com.atlassian.jira.iss
java.lang.String). Please check if the declared type is correct and if
the method exists.

@ line 16, column 1.

The code I'm running is:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParameters
import org.apache.log4j.Logger

def log = Logger.getLogger("com.onresolve.jira.groovy")

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject("customFieldId=10711")
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def user = userManager.getUserByName("EPP Team")
def customFieldValue = issue.key +" "+ issue.summary

issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField,customFieldValue)
issueManager.updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

Hi, 

I would advise to swap the two last lines for these : 

def customFieldOldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)
customField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(customFieldOldValue, customFieldValue), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())
