How to set user's properties using Jira java API ?

[Valerie AQUILA]

In a REST plugin module, I need to get and set user's properties.

Get works well, with

ComponentAccessor.getUserPropertyManager();

that gives the propertySet.

But how to "set" a new property, and change and existing one, using java api ?

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist] · Accepted solution]

PropertySet ps = propertiesManager.getPropertySet()();
ps.setString("property.key","value");

String value = ps.getString("property.key");

You can also use Boolean, Date etc in addition to String values.

Hi Jobin

In my case adding a property like this does not make it visible in JIRA . Although adding it to like

ps.setString("jira.meta.key","value"); 

make the property visible in JIRA.

To make the property visible in JIRA, use:

ps.setString("jira.meta.key","value");
